'Groping women in the workplace', Italian judges rule dailym.ai/1PhVzYs via dailym.ai/android
Sorry for DM link. An Italian man prosecuted for sexual harassment has been acquitted because the judge didn't feel his inappropriate touching of female subordinates was for sexual pleasure.
So, it's now the claimed intention of the defendant rather than the actual impact on the victim that matters?
I know we have separate crimes of manslaughter vs murder, partly due to intent to kill, but surely this can't apply to this sort of case? "Honest, m'lord, I only grabbed her boobs for a bit of fun!"
I despair.
