Let me see, maybe if Helen Thomas grabbed and kissed me.....
"If the girl, who is only 14, had "to struggle to get away" there certainly is a crime here."
Yes. And change the circumstances....a little more secluded in the park, a little later, she a little weaker, he a little stronger...the outcome could certainly have been rape or worse. Hold him, charge him and if found guilty hand him his holy book and ship him off. But if his embassy helps to get him out with a promise to show up for trial (possible) you will never see him again.
The way girls dress nowadays...
What he sees in movies about America
What else would he be thinking, but that American Girls are easy?
That was pretty good.
What ever happened to using your knee or fist where it would hurt most.
Blaming the victim. How repugnant. How unsurprising. If this were a relative of yours, you'd be calling for his head, but since it's some girl from MA, you are blaming her. Don't be a hypocrite.
For the rest of you: Where in the report does it say she was alone? It is possible her family/friends were distracted a few steps away. Where does it say that this was in Central Park? There are several public parks in NYC. Where does it say this happened at night? No time stamp was given. Where does her mode of dress appear? How do you know she wasn't dressed conservatively?
And finally, if a kiss is not unwanted sexual contact, I will happily walk up to your wives (all of them!) and kiss them passionately the next time I see them. They shouldn't mind.

Proving you missed my point altogether.
Waddah write for Variety or sumtin? You are truly a person of wit.
Wasn't your point,
Tut, tut, she dressed scandalously and got what was coming to her. That poor uncontrolled sailor had no choice but to give in to her potentially pre-pubscent feminine wiles.
Because that's certainly what it sounded like over here.
I went and looked through another few articles on the matter. This was in Central Park. However, this was at about 6:00 PM, which on the East Coast at the moment is fairly sunny. It was at 72nd street, well into the beautiful (and wealthy) areas of the Park. It also says they were talking when it happened.
I am guessing that the girl, like most her age, was excited and interested to talk to someone in uniform and did so, figuring that his military training would make him an exemplar of good behavior. Sadly, she was mistaken.
Bump
LOL!
That PakPed is lucky the NYPD has him instead of the Teen's Dad. No wait, she's from Mass so most likely her Dad's a LIBERAL Dimocrat and will claim the NYPD is picking on him.
Why? He is probably already used to throwing his buttocks upward at other men five times a day!
Wrong.
The Sailor came from a Muslim Country.
He is used to seeing women dressed more modestly.
HE would think those things.
Get it?
Let me see, maybe if Helen Thomas grabbed and kissed me.....Or Janet Reno
"sexual assault"???
sheesh... There has to be a more appropriate charge for this.
In fact, charging him with "sexual assault" would be even more inappropriate than the inappropriate behavior itself.
garbage - you spew garbage - teach the girl to slap his face and be done with it.
Weren't they the wits who came up with the "Headless Body Found In Topless Bar" gem?
