Hello there,
I'm trying to figure out how to translate ''encoxada'' into English.
This is in a sexual assault context, I have seen it in Brazilian Portuguese.
That's when a male rubs their genital organ into the buttocks or thighs of a (usually) female passenger on public transport.
For example, ''ela recebeu uma encoxada dele no ônibus''.
Does anyone have any possible forms of expressing this with a proper term? (Is there an actual term for this in English?)
Thank you in advance.

: My curiosity is piqued. Having been a "victim" on the metro. Does the term differentiate when the "aggressor" is female?

I'm not aware of any such case here in the US. But males, even under-aged ones, have often been sexually victimized over here by women who hold positions of power over them: teachers, profs, supervisors at work, etc.
