1. “In the context in which “affront” and “alarm” are used in section 566.095, what is prohibited are sexual i-equests or solicitations that the defendant knows are likely to cause such a reaction. To be impolite is not enough. To be annoying is insufficient. The words “affront or alarm” convey, respectively, a deliberate offense or a feeling of danger. At the least, real emotional turmoil must result.”
