She said he held her down, put his hand over her mouth to stifle her screams and tried to take her clothes off, while Judge turned up to music so others would not hear. That's a credible basis for an investigation into attempted rape. It is an allegation of attempted rape. To the extent the distinction matters, it is not merely an allegation of sexual battery (if you want to make the distinction, "sexual assault" is the wrong term to use).
And again, we're not at the proof stage. We haven't even had a real investigation yet.
Mind you, he could respond with, "I wasn't really going to rape her, I was just copping a feel," but he did not. Which is another reason your parsing is absurd.
