Yeah, I thought that too. If I was that lawyer, I'm not sure I'd be playing innocent like that.
Definitely sexual assault. Janey, the reason we're glad it's sexual assault and not simple assault is that sexual assault carries bigger sentences. According to the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=sexual+assault+minimum+sentence+%2Bnebraska&btnG=Search">googling I did</a>, then this is a Class IV Felony, which doesn't have a minimum sentence, but has a maximum punishment of 5 years in jail or a $10,000 fine. I don't know whether Shippert's being a minor makes a difference in that, but I presume that it does.
