If you are arguing that pursuing charges is over the top, what should someone in her position do? Should women just wait for these a$$holes to die off and accept that having their a$$es slapped is going to be a part of their life? This sort of thing will never stop until the perpetrators (like this guy) are held accountable.
So tell me, I haven't heard a single person defending the actual slap, so if there is no punishment, how is that not saying this sort of thing is ok?
Are you saying what the guy did was ok? If nothing ever happens to creeps like this, they'll just keep doing it. What do you think should happen to people like this?

Because she enjoys sex, she deserved to be slapped on the a$$ by stranger while she was working in front of a camera. I'm sure they guy who slapped her knew about these 6 year old tweets. You're a pig.

Your link does not support your claim that 99%+ of priests are rapists. Still awaiting support for that claim.
You are attempting to argue with someone who has not offered anything but made up statistics and has not refuted the original assertion that they guy should not be allowed near Boy Scouts. Instead he attacks the person who said it and some organizations to divert attention from the offensive person this thread is about. Facts equals a loss for 'Who Are You To Judge? ' so he won't go there. Stating that this bottom slapper is his hero wouldn't work because it will clearly show that he is a misogynist. It is likely that he is a member of an organization the President has referred to as "good people". So divert away, but the facts remain.

As I stated before, this should be a scenario of “an eye for an eye”
He slapped her bottom, so an appropriate punishment is him receiving a firm slap on his bottom.
The social media shaming he has received is at least equivalent (IMO far worse) to a firm slap on the bottom, so no additional punishment is needed or deserved

My guess is a fine and probation. What he did was wrong. It is battery. It is sexual since the butt falls under that statute in most, if not all, states.
I think a criminal record (not sex registry though) is fine. In a few years allow for it to be expunged if he has had a clean record.
Going to jail for something like this though would be over the top and a huge waste of the taxpayers' money.
Toss in an apology and some sort of community service.

I'm sympathetic to the guy, but haven't slapped an unknown woman's butt. Granted I've always been very introverted and have never been the touchy-feely type. However, many people are more extroverted and truly don't have bad intention doing that. What gets me is that a woman can slap a guy's butt and everyone laughs. And why not? Who really cares. But turn the tables and now we are arresting people for it? That is pathetic.
Amen. First "we want to be treated equally" Then, we can grab you, and your a wimpy pu$$y if you complain. But, touch us???
Go to jail!!!

When I was growing up in my small town her husband, boyfriend, or brother would have kicked the guys ass and then it would have been over.
What the guy did was definitely wrong and he shouldn't be let off the hook. But it just feels like any significant punishment beyond community service and a small fine is over the top. The reporter was and should be upset but she is not going to have and lasting emotional distress. By the letter of the law maybe this is sexual assault, but to call it that is really an insult to those that really experience assault. This was a D Bag who made an inappropriate and unwanted advance.
Lots of people have made stupid mistakes in their life that rise to this magnitude. We don't need to ruin every person who's made a mistakes life.

I've never done that. But I'm at least marginally sympathetic. If you watch the 10-15 second lead in to what he did, you'll notice that a whole lot of men were keying on the woman in question and treating her, at least prospectively, the way that Amateur Hour entertainers at the Apollo treat that log-like tree in the corner: as a good-luck totem, hungering for a dab or smack or wave.
The dude in question just felt that impulse more intensely, your honor. He's sorry, embarrassed, and has tried in the intervening days to make a sincere public apology. It was wrong to slap that bu*t like that. He knows what he did was wrong--and he has apologized, without qualification. I respectfully ask, as his solicitor, that the charges be dropped. My client feels that he should certainly be required to perform public service--not public shaming, public service--and he hopes that Ms. TV Journalist Whose Bu*t He Slapped will find it in her big warm juicy heart to forgive him.

Looks like the reporter isn't letting this one go.

Just watched the video. At first I thought it was the first guy. It seemed like everyone was screwing with her.
And yeah that's definitely sexual assault.
I'm sure he was too drunk pre race to even realize this and in his mind he did it in a jokingly manner.
But yeah in my mind she has every right to press charges against him. Why would he think that just because he was in a race that it gives him the right to do this.
It's not cool at all.
It's not proper English etiquette to do this at all even if you're joking about it.
Wow I can't believe he even had the audacity to do this. That's really dumb. I don't care if you're joking or not.
I don't think he should see up to a year in jail for this though. I think the sentence should be a fine and community service as well as a mental health treatment program for 3 months. I don't think he should get jail at all for this. Just the fine and other things.
I agree with your take on this. Fine and community service.
SJW coda: And of course his spirit should be crushed. He needs to hear and deal with the lamentation of his victim. He stole her power. Took. And that is SOOOOO not good.

Females are the weaker sex so should be treated differently in situations like these.
You males who complain you get touched/slapped by females or football coaches etc are missing the point.
I’ve been 100% against this skank since this story broke but now perhaps she’s alluding to her liking of backdoor sex, so I might have to switch to the other side just like the congressman from So. NJ.

Yeah well, there's back door sex and there's back door sex, what Tommy did could fall in to the realms of unnecessary violent unsolicited sadism:
"the tendency to derive pleasure, especially sexual gratification, from inflicting pain, suffering, or humiliation on others."
Just look at him:
https://nypost.com/2019/12/14/runner-who-slapped-tv-reporters-butt-arrested-for-sexual-battery/No. Bruce Jenner is now a woman and she is stronger than any of us. Don't assume anyone us male or femake today. You should never generalize. How about some of those femake weight throwers? They are weaker than male distance runners?

Good question. What should happen to the young women who do it to young men? Are they also "creeps"?

And here we have the argument for a double standard.

The guy has been called out, publicly shamed and had to apologise. So what else are you advocating? (Bear in mind that young - and not so young - women also do some of this, so whatever wrong is being done here to one sex is also being done to the other, and the response should be the same.)
