Molestation refers to any unwanted or improper sexual contact, such as touching, grabbing, kissing, or other physical actions that are intended to be sexually gratifying for the perpetrator. It can also involve verbal harassment or abuse of a sexual nature. Molestation is often used in reference to child abuse, where an adult or older individual engages in sexual activity with a minor, who may not have the mental capacity or understanding to consent to such acts. The term molestation can also be applied to any form of unwanted physical contact that does not involve sexual intentions but is still considered invasive and offensive.
