    Something like this? Would it even still be within the statute of limitations? What would the offense be? Grabbing her arse once?


    If something isn't a crime does that mean it's not wrong?
    Taylor Swift has successfully brought a sexual assault charge against some-one grabbing her arse.
    Times are a changing fellas. You cant get away with what once was commonplace!
    I for one am so happy, as I can see this knocking on to younger generations of men, the only thing that was ever going to make men stop was women beginning to talk about it and the world saying it is wrong. What will make men stop is the fear of being charged now. I will no longer have to live in a place/world where I am groped. I feel happier already.

    Corey Feldman was saying for years that there was a sort of a paedophile ring abusing young actors including himself and that Corey Haim was raped but nobody really listened to him.

    Ass grabbing and talking dirty to a 17 year old is unacceptable but I wouldn't put it in the same category as young boys being raped.

    Oh no doubt groping someone is a crime that you could be charged for now. But my point was would that crime have a statute of limitations and what would the likelyhood of a conviction for groping someone 30 years ago be?

    And I too am happy that you and all other woman can feel even a little bit safer if that is indeed the case. Hopefully attitudes are changing big time, but with the way you see people talking to woman on social media there's still a major problem.

    This is just nature. As men become powerful, their testosterone grows, and they need to fûck anything that comes into their line of sight.

    In the wild they would be the ones producing the next generation, as alpha males. In human society, they are and will always be filthy sex pests.

    ...slapping an ass in the 1980s was reasonably acceptable...

    I dare say those being slapped in the ass might disagree.

    Sure there are some woman that fall for it, love it, chase it. Then others don’t want the attention. Especially if you are a gross, sweaty, hairy ape. No matter the power, and the money.

    Yet another movie-maker named (according to the Guardian, via a report in the Los Angeles Times).

    Film-maker Brett Ratner is accused by six women of sexual misconduct
    The director of 'Rush Hour and X-Men: The Last Stand'
    has been accused of a range of unwanted sexual behaviour by Hollywood actors.

    Send in the exorcists to Hollywood!

    Why is it that if a guy gets his ass smacked its a non story but if its a woman stop the press. I'm under no illusion that men and women did stuff to advance their careers in Hollywood. Why cry now and not when it happened. I tell you why because you wanted your big chance and you were willing to do anything to get there.

    Now im not saying all did this to advance their careers I do believe there is some amount of assaults and rapes going on, But alot fell on deaf ears Corey Haim been one example. Im not excusing the scum that did theses rapes and assaults but if you got a smack on the ass and a wink dont come crying 30 years later.

    I fear in the future you cant even admire the female form anymore you be called a rapist scum.

    Hillary worked all her life to be President. This myth that Hillary somehow has better morals than Trump should be debunked. I have always thought she is worse than Trump and still do. She played a key role in the mess which is now Libya. Even bragged about it which is on Youtube for all to see.

    Morality doesn't come into it, although there are levels of abuse, you have to step on people to make it to the top of politics and every politician has enemies. The problem with Trump is that he's not just amoral (nothing new really for the president of the USA) he's also a hot headed idiot loudmouth with a big ego. For example, Hillary would have had the political nous to take a firm line with North Korea, but it's impossible to think she would have taken to the kind of Twitter sabre rattling like trump making the risk of an accidental war exponentially greater.

    There's not going to be a big name actor untouched by this scandal left in Hollywood since it appears to have been cultural. Furthermore once the sexual allegations dry up, you'll hear of serious bullying and harassment next.

    Not quite Hollywood but Dr.Ciara Kelly claims she is aware of a well know Irish media personaility who raped several women. She herself claims he tried it on with her and sent her private messages that amounted to sexual harassment. She is seeking his victims and is trying to organise his outing on Twitter at the moment. Ive no ideas of who it might be, all that she said is that he is in his 60s, has a national profile and is on Twitte

    Who knows where these accusations are going to stop and with who. I think that living in such a sexualised society causes alot of this

    Not all rape victims make statements to the Gardaí. That doesn't make it ok.

    Yes, women have been treated like animals for a long time, with no rights, thoughts, or opinions, but hey, it was okay then!
