[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read about this and was disgusted by it. His sentence was ridiculously light.

He should have been tried as an adult. He did some pretty heinous crimes.

I hope this guy gets expelled if he is in school. No one should have to go to school with someone like that.

I hope Arlington, VA gets blasted in the national news for this too.

Groping = “heinous”?

:roll: [/quote]

wow thanks for revealing yourself. yes, hiding in the bushes to jump out and grope FIVE women (while filming it!) is heinous and pretty much proof of a very disturbed mind. I don’t think he should be in jail but probably some kind of residential treatment facility for at least a year. something is seriously wrong with him. [/quote]

Please.  These sexual assaults are closer to pranks than a heinous crime.  [/quote]

wtf is wrong with you? it is not a “prank” to stalk and jump women at night to grab their genitals and film it. [/quote]

He grabbed the crotch of her pants. No genitals were touched. [/quote]

Right, and if I punch you in your face while I have work gloves on no assult occurred.[/quote]

1. more minimizing here - "it's not assault, she had pants on!"

and 2. bravo person replying - literal spit take, there is tea on my screen now.[/quote]

Stop lying. No one said “it wasn’t assault”. Just that he didn’t actually touch her “genitals”. 
[/quote]

Wait so like...if you grab someones boobs above the shirt you didn't touch their boobs, you touched their shirt?  
This position is deeply not defensible friend.[/quote]

"Genitals" means vulva/vagina and is misrepresentative of what happened. He grabbed her "crotch" from behind which was reported as "buttocks".

There is some threshold for it to be considered [u]sexual[/u] assault/battery and his actions did NOT meet that threshold.

What he did was wrong - 100%. I'm sure the victims feel violated. He should be punished and receive treatment. But don't pretend like it was something much more serious just to push some political narrative.

you are disgusting. he grabbed her crotch and was trying to pull her pants down. of ALL the crimes for you to be trying to minimize …

I am not sure what he was charged with or convicted of, but this is *absolutely* a form of sexual assault.

Definition of sexual abuse in Virginia:

“ 6. "Sexual abuse" means an act committed with the intent to sexually molest, arouse, or gratify any person, where:

a. The accused intentionally touches the complaining witness's intimate parts or material directly covering such intimate parts”[/quote]

He didn't try to pull her pants down. Embellish much?  :roll:

[i]In January, police said detectives identified a 17-year-old male suspect and obtained a petition for [u]Assault and Battery[/u] charges. 
[/i]

the reddit post says he tried to pull her pants down.

what he got charged with and whether this conduct could meet the definition of “sexual abuse” are two different things

your continued defense and minimizing here of the acts of a kid who is, at the very least, extremely disturbed is just gross and weird. [/quote]
