For physical contact to be considered sexual, it must meet specific criteria under NSW law. The contact must be intentional, and a reasonable person would view the touching as sexual in nature, considering the circumstances. The context, intent, and the part of the body touched play key roles in determining whether the contact is classified as sexual.
Examples of touching that is considered sexual include:
Touching private parts: Touching private parts such as genitals, breast, or buttocks through or without clothing, in a way that suggest sexual intent.
Touching intimate areas: Touching areas with deliberate sexual motivation, such as groping or fondling.
Examples of touching not considered sexual include:
Incidental contact: Contact in public spaces, such as brushing against someone in a crowded room, if it is clear there is no sexual intent.
Non-sexual touching: Touching such as a pat on the back or handshake, which is not intended to be intimate or suggestive.

Factors such as witness testimony, CCTV footage, and the context of the interactions can make a significant difference in defending against such charges.
