Spoken like a truly clueless lawyer.
Life involves risk. It involves bad things, abuses, and people fighting back against abuses, and it's a constant push and pull.
Some shithead saying, "Let's pass a law..." is the autistic flag waver channeling traffic down that road to hell paved with good intentions.
You cannot effectively bar people from fucking via policy. All this does is put people in horrible situations. If a person in power is forcing himself on others, those others have avenues to make complaints. They can bring down the careers of such abusive people, as we're seeing every day (and get nice settlements in the process). Having some twit lawyer craft a zero tolerance rule precluding people from fucking it is both embarrassing and disheartening. And it did no favors for Katie Hill, who does not deserve to lose her job because her bitter spouse ratfucked her with revenge porn.
