      In most jurisdictions battery involves touching someone while assault is the threat of immediate danger.

      Actually I don’t think it does, at least depending on where you are, and the definition for sexual assault might be different, but in my state (US) you can be charged with assault even for intent to attack someone.

        I don’t see how mooning can be considered the intent to attack.

        It’s harassment, sure. Not assault.

          I think it might depend on if the person mooning is moving toward the victim and if the victim is “in range” of…the butt.

          If someone was backing that (bare) ass up on me I’d definitely feel threatened, or if they moon me so close that they might spray me.
