Those are very different scenarios. The fact is a number of A-list female celebrities were assaulted by Harvey but did not have sex with him. It's a tough choice, but it is a choice. Fortunately he was unable to crush their careers.
Different scenarios but they all involve intimidation, pressure or a threat. All involving duress.
The law does not make a distinction between physical harm or otherwise, when it comes to duress.
It's still sexual assault when sex is not consensual under duress.
Educate yourself and read Oagre's quoted statutes.
P.S. The fact that HW could not shut down some actresses' careers is irrelevant. What's relevant is that he tried or threatened to shut them down. The other fact is, he actually did with others, like Mira Sorvino (who admits this). Intimidation, coercion, duress, pressure, deceit, whatever you want to call it, does not have to be real to cause someone to be compelled to do something against their will. All it takes is for someone to believe it, in order to be induced. When that person who makes a threat is in a position of authority and power, it's easier for them to make it appear real. HW is a scum bag of the highest order.
