I'd almost gotten to where I could just read stuff.

Then I found out about this list.

In an article about a man arrested for several nasty crimes was listed
"forcible sex with a foreign object".

I think I know what they are saying he did, and I think that is prerry
dreadful, but legalistically, is sex with an object illegal?  Battery of
a human with an object clearly is wrong and illegal, but is it sex?

[Don't get me started on the "assault" "battery" thing.  From a story
long long ago:  "He grabbed her by the hair, dragged her across the
rocks to some berry vines, ripped off her clothes, and assaulted her."
