Public Goosing, or Sexual Assault on National TV

I was wandering around the BBC News web site when I tripped across this piece.

A female Channel 4 reporter had her bum pinched while doing a live broadcast. The man who pinched her is now the subject of a police search. And so the little prick should be. The reporter said she thought that it was disrespectful considering she was reporting on flood hit areas. 'Cause obviously it would have been fine if she'd been reporting on something light hearted. Idiot.

It is not ok ever for a anyone to pinch the rear end of someone they don't know. Or someone you do know if that behaviour is outwith the boundaries of that relationship. She did admit to feeling humiliated, and felt that no male reporter would have been treated in that manner. Despite being humiliated on national tv, and recognising that it only happened because she is a woman she will not be pressing assault charges. Despite the police contacting her about it. Seriously, this woman is bugging me. Then she mused,

"But I did wonder, if I accepted such behaviour without complaint, what hope do women who are groped in public in this way have of any recourse?"

So do something about it you git ! Take the police up on their plan and press charges against the worthless little worm. Stand up and say "No, this behaviour is unacceptable". Get a fucking backbone. But no, she'd rather let it slide. Since she won't be pressing charges the little shit will get an £80 fine. Well that's alright then, eh ?

Mind you, personally I would just have rounded on the fucker and called him on his behaviour. Then he could have been publicly humiliated.
