Yeah, one young kid copping a feel on another kid didn’t used to be called “molestation”. It wasn’t acceptable behavior, but it wasn’t something that got people labeled a sex predator.
If he were a 5yr old boy playing doctor with his 4yr old sister I’d agree.
He was a 14yr old boy playing with his 4yr old sister.
A 14 year old is one year away from high school.
Can a 14 year old cop a feel on an 8 year old?
It went further than that.
14 almost 15, sneaking into their room and groping them. Sorry, that is not harmless kid behavior. That is a symptom of wiring gone bad in the brain. It shows at the very least some mild sexual predator tendency. Unfortunately, the cure rate, according to every study out there, is almost nil.
He can and is forgiven. I believe he can still lead a productive life, but he needs professional counseling and LIFELONG monitoring. Nothing against the man personally, but that is the basic truth. Forgiveness, but boundaries, is what we teach in CR to people suffering from abuse and molestation.
First of all he was not a “kid”- he was 14-15 years old at the time this took place. But his sisters were younger - 12, 10, 8 and 4 years old.
Next, I don’t know what kind of world you live in, but there is a very big difference between a boy or teenager out on a date with a girl (hopefully not his sister) and perhaps doing something like putting his arm around his date and sort of accidently on purpose brushing her breast (i.e. copping a feel) and an older brother sneaking into the bedrooms of his own sisters on multiple occasions and fondling their genitals – not just their breasts but their “nether regions”, including that of his 4 year old sister while they are sleeping.
The former is normal teenage boy behavior; the latter would be molestation bordering on incest.

Did you ‘cop a feel’ on your sisters? The other one was a relative who used to spend a lot of time with the family, sleeping on the couch when staying over.
True... what my gf and I did when I was 12 would put me on the sex offender list nowadays. When will 5 year olds playing doctor be put on the sex offender list...
