Sexual Assault was a Canadian punk band from St. Catharines, Ontario.
History
Controversy
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. Opposing groups say the band is violating human rights and turning Sexual Assault into a casual issue. The band denies such claims, saying that their name and music are open to interpretation.
