People are not animals, acting upon instinct and physical inputs alone. Our laws, societal norms, and mores are all based on the fact that, while we are animals underneath, a critical part of what makes us human is that we don't have to act on every urge that comes to mind.

Is there an opportunity for people to get confused and read mixed signals? Absolutely. Did they in this case? I don't know. From the little I have read, it does not sound to me like it was a case of "she was totally leading me on, then was shocked when I followed."

Regardless, as a man in that situation, I would be extremely careful. It is far to easy to get into trouble with the law in situation that somebody is leading you on, then turns off. Personally, I don't want a felony assault on my record, regardless of whether I'm "right" or not.
