Sexual Assault was a Canadian punk band from St. Catharines, Ontario.

History

[edit]

Controversy

[edit]

The band was developing notoriety due to a campaign, led by the Niagara Sexual Assault Center, and Feminine Action Collective trying to get the band to change its name.[1][2] Opposing groups say the band is violating human rights and turning Sexual Assault into a casual issue.[1] The band denies such claims, saying that their name and music are open to interpretation.
