It never offended me tbh, but having your balls groped is damned sore but apparently to the girls doing it its bloody hilarious.

I guarantee you have transgressed to the same extent at least once in your lifetime, the only difference being you weren't caught. I'm sure you think that nothing you've done was worth 5k or a year in jail though. Absolute b.s. of the highest standard.

The real difference is those cameras arent tv cameras... Is it not a possibility that her ego took a hit with it being caught on tv in what was supposed to be her time to shine, and that this is a reaction to that more than any sexual abuse angle? She first claimed sexual battery, now she has dropped the sexual part and is saying assault. Why would she do that if she felt she had been some sexual motivation. And if she didnt why claim it in the first place? I have no gripe in the world with genuine sexual battery claims, but this case stinks.
Hiitsme wrote: » I do not want to see that man's life destroyed. I'm sure the reporter doesn't either. However, the penalty for sexual battery in the State of Georgia is as follows: Sexual battery is a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature, punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a fine of up to $5,000. A second or subsequent conviction for sexual battery or a conviction for sexual battery against a child under the age of 16 is punishable by one to five years’ imprisonment. It seems harsh to me but he committed the crime ....

And no, for the record, I have never touched, slapped or groped any man inappropriately. I have been the victim of a sexual assault, so I know how it feels. I remember the shock and the violation. Finally, I don't know why you have to be so aggressive in your response to me. Like Mr. Slap Arse, it is unwarranted and unnecessary.
threeball wrote: » Just another example of how you are overly sensitive if you found my post aggressive. If you were sexually assaulted you have my sympathy. A slap in the arse is not sexual assault. When you try to include it as a form of sexual assault it diminishes actual sexual assault.
