I completely get knee slapping with friends but this was a mom group I was a part of for a short while when I had my first baby.
This particular mother sat next to me and was laughing at a story but she touched (gently hit) my leg (above my knee) twice as she was laughing about the story. I am assuming good intentions but at the time, I felt a twinge of discomfort as I didn't "know" her that well.
It sounds like it was just normal for her and I was just a little uncomfortable.
Sounds like sexual assault. Get a lawyer.

People who have normal interactions, then go away feeling weird make me feel weird.

A long time ago in a social setting where a bunch of moms were laughing about a story, one of the moms was laughing and sort of gently slapped my leg twice. I understand doing this with maybe your family, friends, siblings but I didn't know the mom that well.
Would you consider this odd? Or that she was having a rip roaring good time and needed someone to "slap".
Not odd - just a tad overly familiar but not a big deal

I know what you are talking about OP. I don't like it if anyone outside of close family/friends does it, but I don't care enough to say anything on those times when that happens.
