    That’s what you get when you vote right wing into your government. Fascists feel accepted and they are only against molestation when done by the evil foreigners. When it’s done by their own they see women as cattle for men to ogle and touch. Never believe their lies about being for “equality” or women’s rights.

    Someone should have asked the judge if they would be ok with a 66 year old janitor groping their crotch for 10 seconds in the court room right now

    As an Italian, I feel truly ashamed. There is another case on the news in these days concerning the reduction of the sentence for a man who killed and torn to pieces his ex girlfriend due to “his being very affectionate but her being too libertine”. What has gone wrong with this country?

      How are these kind of stories received by the general public?

      Do you get the sense that the acceptance of this behavior is pushed on the public from above, or is this genuinely what large parts of the population consider OK?

    Well, I can almost see the point that there needs to be a criteria to draw a line where there’s no way to call it accidental or incidental contact on a legal level.

    However, I just groped my wife’s bobs for five seconds and she asked if it was foreplay or just because I was bored.

    So, I think we can safely say that it sure as fuck isn’t ten seconds before it can be definitively called groping for the purposes of assault if five seconds between a couple is going to be noticeable as more than a friendly way of saying hello.

    In other words, the judge is fucking crazy lol.

      Not to mention that

      a) going under the plaintiff’s outer clothing very clearly moves the onus of demonstrating that it was accidental back on the accused’s side, because no reasonable third-party can accept that you can accidentally slip and fall into someone’s pants

      and

      b) the accused admitted that the action was intentionally non-consensual, but their defence was that the motive was non-malicious

      Even before we look at the duration, there are other factors that make the case way more clear-cut than this judge thinks it is.

      Ten seconds would feel like an eternity. Imagine how emboldened guys will be, especially at college parties. I only grabbed your boob super fast, so it’s fine.

    This is so profoundly sad.

    What was going through the head of the judge when making this decision?

    What kind of society raises citizens that reach the conclusion that this kind of behavior is considered acceptable?

    Fake news. The person was aquitted cause it was not the intention of the act. It was accidental. Simply as that. But western media love to spread hate against italy and italians.

        The situation was obviously more complicated than that, the sentence was long and i have no time to explain it cause i’m not a journalist. Spreading hate falsifing and omitting is the usual anglosaxon method to attack their enemies.

          She described walking up a staircase to class with a friend, when she felt her trousers fall down, a hand touching her buttocks and grabbing her underwear.

          “Love, you know I was joking,” the man told her when she turned around.

          Would he say

          “Love, you know I was joking,” the man told her when she turned around.

          If it was an accident?

          Additionally, what does

          refer to? Which sentence? You can just copy it over here, people can read.

            And you trust media? I’m not translating the whole trial. It is a lost cause to stop american pitchforks. Racists as usual.

              What? You went from a complex sentence to a complete trail log and went to “Media cannot be trusted”.

              BTW: You can also paste Italian stuff. Automated translators exist. They are not perfect but good enough.

                I think the sentence they are referring to is the sentencing in the trial, not a sentence as in a string of words.

                I thought one think. Why argue with americans that are scandalized about an involontary grouping when is normal in us school to have mass shooting? Maybe he had to shoot the student, less problems.

                  This conversation is getting funnier by the moment. You still on “involuntary groping” without even acknowledging what I put up against this before.

                  And now you add the completely unrelated whataboutism regarding shootings in the US to this?

                  For how much you seem to hate on the Americans, you would make a great candidate for the republican party over there. Reactionary babbeling of bullshit and ignorance of every argument brought up against you works pretty well there.

          So you’re, like, omitting the important part?

          (I’m not even disagreeing, but you’re doing exactly what you’re accusing “the other” of.)
