Reply #25: my point being that: it is routine to charge someone with a lesser crime

than the one they are accused of by the victim. totally routine. this is because they would like to win the case, and sex crimes often fall into the he said she said hard to prove category.
imposition sounds like something with no physical contact at all. i could be wrong about that, of course. it sounds like a very minor charge.
often a person will plead to a lesser crime as well and spare the victims a trial.
i'm saying that you have no way of knowing what more there is to it with the info you have.
