You are adding criteria that is extraneous and doesn't meet the checklist criteria for a charge:

1. Did the defender initially have LGP (both feet on floor and facing opponent)? - YES

2. Did the defender move legally (laterally or backwards, not towards the opponent) to maintain his position? - YES

3. Did contact occur at the defender's torso before the offensive player got his head and shoulders past the defender? YES
