Remember the fake outrage when they thought they had Trump on his issue during the election?
Yea, like anyone believed Niles was a hetro!
For six months afterwards. Yeah
Not a “grip” nowhere is the action described as a grip. To forcefully grab hold of another person’s private parts is assault. You and everyone has the right to determine the boundaries of physical contact with another person. When those boundaries are aggressively breached (so to say) the law is clear. It is wrong. When the aggression is sexual there are all kinds of descriptions in statute to describe the different degrees of assault.
Also nobody gets to decide what events are traumatic to another. We don’t know the personal history of this man and what factors made this event traumatic for him. I think determining a valid diagnosis of PTSD is best left to professionals. Is the term PTSD sometimes used to describe non medically diagnosed stress? Of course it is. And that should be made clear.
By the way thanks to your stepfather for his service.
That’s your issue not mine.
I'm going to go ahead and keep the opinion that this is a melodramatic preliminary to a financial shakedown, but you think what you want.
Some of it may very well be. It sure was in some (if not many) accusations against Catholic priests and other clergy. Those cases went back decades and often key witnesses and even the accused were incapacitated or dead. There is a reason we have a statute of limitations.
There are law firms that solicit for such cases. I expect we will be hearing from them soon enough. It makes one almost long for the days when the prospect of clean and simple blackmail stayed the hands of some perverts.
Sweinstein had power over more people, not sure that’s a big distinction.
Well, you have more tolerance for a guy grabbing your penis then I do then...
Being fondled by a creep against your will can definitely cause trauma.
