I think is worth fighting (and I use that word intentionally) against is the changing of the goal posts.
It's the law. No goal posts were "changed." The charge meets the definition of misdemeanor sexual assault.
You have a party, and your wife is in bed. One of the male guests feels her up in her bed (which means deliberately entering the bedroom).
She complains. When she does, do you go "quit switching the goalposts, that's not assault. Context explains all this." In fact what kind of husband would do that.
And that's aside from knowing the law.
On the law. In all cases the issue is consent.

from California Sexual Battery (Assault) Laws (Penal Code 243.4 PC)
Here are some examples of misdemeanor sexual assault:
Intentionally fondling a female stranger's breast without permission, or
Putting your hands on someone else's buttocks without first obtaining consent to do so.

from CHAPTER 9. Assault and Battery [240 - 248] [
