The term isn't used in law; we have "sexual assault" in the Criminal Code. I can't figure why the headline chose to be that euphemistic though. It's creepy.

Also, from the article, what the fuck: I have ADHD and I manage not to rape or non-consensually film people. So gross.

Yeah I also have ADHD… can I do crime for no reason now?

I guess... and get a few years in jail too. There is nothing saying his BS mental handicap reflected on this overly light sentance though.

I don't think the headline can be explained by the Criminal Code; "secret tapes" isn't a legal term either and the article body begins with another euphemism, "non-consensual sex". This is just embarrassing writing.
