Dude, what the hell? You're 6'2". You're not exactly tiny. What are you so worried about? You're about the same size as me. As for "how to fight"... if he comes after you, just start wailing on him. You know how to make a fist, right?Chony said:It's just really hard to approach this situation. I don't want to just stand there while he wails on me, I don't want the courts involved, but he is adament about a "lesson" learned. I could try to contact the sister and apologize, but I don't think that is possible at this point. I am just going to try to meet him in a crowded area (resturaunt most likely), and reason and be as diplomatic as possible. I have never been in a fight before, I am frail, 150 lbs, six foot two. He is six foot and 200 lbs, and been in fights before.
eggplant said:Remember that he's an adult and she's still underage. Also, groping unwilling victims is wrong at any age.
Guileless said:Feeling a girl up after you had one too many isn't admirable, but come on. This guy needs to lighten up. If I were you I'd just apologize and find some friends who are a little more laid back about things.
ZombieSupaStar said:edit: are your "friends" straight edge for the most part? and/or under 16
Chony said:I havent talked to all of my friends because I have been busy at work, so I don't know the general consensus. But my friend named names, and gave quotes, ie "I will hold him down". I am going to try to talk to my other friends, especially ones who were at the party and saw me how I was.
jett said:This is bullshit, your "friend" is a fuckwad. His pride or whatever the shit hurts and he wants meaningless retribuition. Like I said, fuck him. Don't just stand there like some dipshit, do something.
And for the people making a big deal about the girl being 17...fucking morons, all of you. It's just a 2 year difference, the fuck does it matter. Not like anything happened, anyway.
eggplant said:At least in my state, if he had sex with her, he would be committing rape even if it were consensual.
Maybe a more appropriate term is "child molestation". I don't know if there is a cut off age, but I assume that all minors would be protected under child molestation laws.
If I were the family, I would contact the police to see if the OP can be arrested. Violence is not the answer in this situation.

eggplant said:obviously we can't. we arent' the victims in this situation.
Crimes need to be punished. The OP needs to take responsibility for his actions and admit guilt in a court, if necessary.
Tre said:eggplant: Apparently, he *didn't* have sex with her. Reading's fundamental!
eggplant said:At least in my state, if he had sex with her, he would be committing rape even if it were consensual.
This must be the natural process by which lawyers form....eggplant said:Groping still goes under child molestation, I believe. Sex doesn't need to be involved. You know, those pedophiles touching kids' dicks and such?
Vormund said:Here in Aus if someone has consensual sex with someone underage it's not called rape...that's just dumb. Rape by definition is forced.
It's still illegal of course it's just classified as having sex with a minor.
Cyan said:This must be the natural process by which lawyers form....
Seriously, how can you even begin to equate what this guy did with pedophiles? Get a grip, man.
Exactly. That's why the type of dumb shit that you're spouting is counter-productive.eggplant said:Child molestation is a serious offense.
You're obviously a "letter of the law" person. No, the solution is not to change the laws, the solution is to not interpret the laws in completely retarded ways.Well then, change the laws.

:rolleyes. So glad to hear how unbiased you are... but you're completely missing the point. Child molestation is indeed a serious offense. What the OP did is neither child molestation nor a serious offense. By calling what he did "child molestation," you are making light of real child molestation.eggplant said:WTF. It's about punishing people for crimes. I don't believe in discriminating between old and young men.
Correct interpretation of law = easy on criminals? If you say so.Sounds like typical easy-on-criminals bs.

So what punishment would you suggest for this "criminal?" Ten years or so?
eggplant said:Why can't it be considered child molestation? From my previous posts, I've pointed out why it can be considered child molestation.
I've seen so many different numbers for "average child molestation sentence". It looks like a couple of months plus probation is good enough, esp since he admits guilt and is sorry.

Yes, you've pointed out why, by the letter of the law, it could be considered child molestation. And I argued that that was stupid. Sometimes, common sense needs to be used. I'm definitely a "spirit of the law" kind of guy.eggplant said:Why can't it be considered child molestation? From my previous posts, I've pointed out why it can be considered child molestation.
That's a pretty light sentence for child molestation. Soft on criminals, are we?a couple of months plus probation
BobbyRobby said:So you'd wish for Chony to go to jail. In those couple of months, as a "sexual offender", its possible that Chony may get molested, and maybe even raped. And if you're lucky, he may contract AIDs.
Its ridiculous, I'd never be able to get a girl thrown in jail for grabbing my ass.
Cyan said:It's about this guy is 19, and the girl is 17! How many times do I have to say that? This is NOT pedophilia.
cyan said:Yes, I would let the guy walk free.
eggplant said:You know, 18 is the magic number here. He could be 18 and the situation would be the same.
you and the rest of society let creeps like him prosper

BobbyRobby said:True Story. My friends older brother just turned himself in , and was arrested for Sexual Harrassment. Guess why?
He was driving a female coworker in a company car when he saw a male friend of his. He leaned out the window, and said to his friend, "Hey, I wanna fuck you." in a joking tone. For some reason, his whore of a coworker felt sexually threatend by this statement and decided to take legal action.
The creep in that situation is the female coworker, and the creep in your situation would be the girl who decides to charge a boy who groped her with child molestation. If you choose to exploit unjust laws, you're a creep.
