I understand where this is coming from but let me stretch the argument and take us back to 1860, back when selling people like cattle were completely legal, whether or not you owned a slave was a business decision, and the law of the land said blacks were 1/3 human.
A slave owner threatened by abolishionists' angry protests saying you *shouldn't* own slaves and you should let them go, would have probably said, "it's my freedom and my choice to own slaves. By the way I'm not breaking any laws. So, why don't you go mind your own business you moralistic son of a bitches and stop making so much fuss?"
Well, after a bloody war, that choice was taken away, and the world was left a better place because of it.
I'm not saying Sleep Assault is comparable to slavery on any level, but choice and freedom defined by law is no justification because law isn't perfect and it's subject to change, as we can see from DOJ fiddling with 2257.
