Interesting that rubbing someone is considered "battery." |

The difference between harassment and flirting is if she/he is attracted to someone it's flirting. If not … is harassment. Sounds humorous … but seems to be true. |

Battery:
"1. In criminal law, this is a physical act that results in harmful or offensive contact with another person without that person's consent." Grabbing her ass or honking her boobs would both be considered "battery".
I guess the guy considers himself God's Gift to the ladies. |

The incident started in a bar, so I'm sure alcohol was involved, and we all know how much more attractive we become after a few drinks. Or more than a few drinks. @Legion4: Smiles, eye contact, and compliments are flirting moves. Stroking the butt of someone you just met is never a flirting move. Pretty much the only time you can do that is when the recipient is a professional companion that you've just hired. |

Where I'm from, bum groping is considered 4th degree criminal sexual conduct. |

we all know how much more attractive we become after a few drinks. Well an old USAF pilot told me … "Go ugly early … avoid the rush …"  Of course that could work for either sex I'd think … Grabbing her ass or honking her boobs would both be considered "battery". Yeah that is clearly wrong … Smiles, eye contact, and compliments are flirting moves. Stroking the butt of someone you just met is never a flirting move. Pretty much the only time you can do that is when the recipient is a professional companion that you've just hired. Well … yeah ! |

Where I'm from, bum groping is considered 4th degree criminal sexual conduct. Which was never addressed in the article, since the assault was against a "jail employee". Most jurisdictions increase the severity of/penalties for offenses that are conducted against peace officers in the conduct of their duties. Many jurisdictions also elevate severity/penalties when the offense was conducted against someone in their non-enforcement place of work. As an adult in a place of public accommodation, you have a lot of options on how you engage or disengage with offensive people. At your work, your options are more limited. If you work in enforcement, you tend to start with a biased population in the first place. |
