Man, 58, on sex offender's list for putting his arm around friend and kissing her shoulder(UK)

An ex-company director has to register as a sex offender for putting his arm around a female friend and kissing her on the shoulder.

William Freeman, 58, was talking to the woman about a swarm of wasps she had seen on the roof of a building when he made a pass at her.

The woman turned to look up at the nest when Freeman, a former director of Northampton Water Ski Club, put his arm around her, Warwick Crown Court heard.

Freeman, who has never even had a parking ticket, then kissed the startled woman on her shoulder, neck and back of her head.

She then pulled away from him, and he apologised for what he had done. The woman then reported the August 2016 incident to police and he was arrested.

Freeman, of Barford, Warwick, originally denied a charge of sexual assault, but changed his plea to guilty on the first day of his trial.

Judge Sylvia de Bertodano, said: 'I am glad you have accepted today your responsibility for this, rather than putting this lady through a trial.

'It is difficult to know what to say to someone like you.

'I don't know what was going through your mind, and I don't suppose you do either

Wow... this is a sex offense?

It isn’t up there with sexual harrassment, never mind rape.

Flirting will get you dragged into court and put on a sex offender registry?

I’m buying stock in sex robots. Sensible men will stay away from women.

“Mr Linnemann added that the incident has caused the woman a great deal of hardship, and she is undertaking counselling and having to ‘live a life of avoidance’ when she is out because she is worried about coming across Freeman.”

Road apples.

The world has gone crazy.

First step to restoring sanity: no more women judges or lawyers.

Which lowers rape to this.

Seriously — kiss a girl’s shoulder, rape her: it is all the same to feminists.

So what would a socipath choose?

“Prosecutor Bernard Linnemann said the woman called the police after speaking to her sister and her partner about what had happened.”

And women wonder why men are opting out of relationships with women.

“Stealing a kiss” can now get you in lifetime legal trouble. Even a Victorian prude would find these times frightful.

If I ever got kicked to the curb, no way would I want to be involved with anyone again. One round would be enough.

I’ll take my chances.

Wonder if there is more to this story? First, it wasn't an innocent arm and kiss, there were multiple kisses. Did she say anything? Boorish behavior but maybe more if he continued after she says stop.

Manager vs. subordinant? Well, he is ex-director so that problem is solved.

Finally, was this unusual or common practice for this guy? Again, maybe there is more to this story as otherwise it does seem a bit over the top!

"Flirting will get you dragged into court and put on a sex offender registry? I’m buying stock in sex robots. Sensible men will stay away from women."

And...

So you remember the 2000ish article in the WSJ about the House and Senate members that outperformed the average investor by .45% per month?. You know, Frank, Kerry, etc etc. Yes they named names. Yes they had the inside skinny via hearings as to what was the up and coming tech to get in on the ground floor on.

And yes I am the king of cynicism, however have you entertained that those pushing this agenda are already in on the ground floor / Angel / VC Investors in this SexBot Industry?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Ditto that test-tube babies as we might not me making them the old fashion way after the Bots kick in....

150 million Europeans are expected to file charges against other Europeans for kissing then on the cheek without signed consent forms.

If you ask a person to sign a “Consent to Flirt” contract, isn’t that itself a flirtation???

Yep. That seems to be where things are headed.

You’d better be damned certain before you make a move on a woman because if you’re off even a little bit it won’t be, “No!” it will be, “He tried to rape me!”
