My thought is that with this verdict, it will open up avenues for situations where this will be exploited by future convicts. Can a skin-to-skin contact only define a s*x assault? It’s like saying I can beat anyone with their clothes on and there will be no imprint on their skin. For s*x assault, there might be a situation where there is no imprint on their skin. But the damage mentally and to society is immense.
Any kind of s*xual harassment should be punishable whether it is skin to skin or not. It disturbs women/girls mentally and emotionally forever, especially children. Court should also keep in mind the mark it leaves on us forever.
Any kind of s*xual, be it skin to skin or not, is a crime. I am against this judgement and I feel every woman should be. More than anything any type of s*xual harassment leaves a mark on the mental health of the victim which is enugh trauma. What kind of thing it is “A mere groping of a child’s br*ast is not s*xual conduct, I believe it is and this judgment should be taken back.
Ashmita Bakshi:
Let anything (any damn touch) done to the victims body without his /her approval be considered as an Act of misconduct and charged for that.. because any inappropriate touch cannot have justified intention to it.With all due respect to the Court of Law, I feel stricter actions and laws should be for attempt to s*xual assualts or rape of minor or for that matter of girls ,boys women, men in general.
