Sexual assault levels according to seriousness:
'Level 1' is the least serious form of assault and includes pushing, slapping, punching and face-to-face verbal threats.
'Level 2' is defined as assault with a weapon or causing bodily harm.
'Level 3' is defined as assault that wounds, maims, disfigures or endangers the life of the victim.

Other sexual offences include corrupting children, making sexually explicit material available to children, anal intercourse, bestiality, other unknown sexual assault, and as of December 2014, new violations classified as 'commodification of sexual activity.' These include the purchasing of sexual services or communicating for that purpose, receiving material benefit deriving from purchase of sexual services, procuring of persons for the purpose of prostitution, and advertising sexual services offered for sale.
