Someday my prince will come...

...and maybe be arrested!  It would rather spoil the story wouldn't it, but it has been suggested that, as the Sleeping Beauty princess had not consented to being kissed, it amounted to a sexual assault.  Of course, as she was in an enchanted coma, she couldn't consent, could she?  But that doesn't seem to matter any more.  Lack of consent is no consent.  I don't know whether the person who raised this issue was serious, or was seeking to point out the possible absurdity which could arise from the law as it is currently understood, but it's a valid point for discussion.
