The Georgia creep who admittedly slapped a TV news reporter on the behind while she was on-air covering a community foot race was arrested Friday for misdemeanor sexual battery.
Sexual battery is punishable by up to one year in jail in Georgia.

Just calling it like I see it. It was a very stupid thing for him to do....then he acted like a jerk trying to play it off like it was really nothing. Did he honestly think he could slap a girl on the butt on camera and get away with it? He deserves whatever he gets.
If butt slaps are sexual battery, then NFL players are gang raping on the field in public.
And I’m not saying butt slaps should be okay in every situation. But the norms vary so much on situational context.
We are moving from no rules to what?
Also more punishment than the feral animals who attacked and hospitalized the boy on the bus in Florida for wearing a MAGA hat.
Savannah, on the coast. But it begs the question: will the misdemeanor assault be upgraded if it’s discovered he goosed her?
Will be interesting to see the state prove there was anything sexual about it, and that a minor open hand slap on the buttocks rises to battery. The young woman obviously was not injured in the least. The guy is having a fun time in the race, endorphins have clouded his judgement, and he is clowning because of a TV camera. He’s not trying to pick her up. I’m not saying it was ok to do this, but this wasn’t a sexual grope. I sentence him to apologizing and both of them to growing up.
He has dissed an elite member of the upper class and must be punished as such.
The next thing you know these plebs will actually believe that their votes count.
.....Furthermore I would put it to any father on this post . How would you feel if that was your daughter and some moron ran by and slapped her on the butt Live on the news?
I had this happen by my employer once. Slapped my butt while leaving a days end meeting. It actually hurt. After arriving home it wasn’t 15 minutes before he was at the door apologizing.
Her reaction leads me to think that his stunt was a bit more than just a slap. Hard to feel sorry for him, as he did have the option to simply run past her.
A moment of exuberance that calls for a sincere apology.
In a sane world, that is.
Sure looks like the vid gets cut off just as she’s about to grin.
I wouldn’t think it was a big deal that required prosecution unless she was injured physically. My married daughter would probably laugh it off immediately.
“A moment of exuberance that calls for a sincere apology.”
What was he “exuberant” about?
Oh, the shame!
Not going to waste sympathy on him. He’s a grown man who ought to be able to handle his problems.
Good point. It looks like she positioned herself so some runners would have to go around her or mow her down. They were tightly bunched and she chose her spot unwisely.
What a moron.
I can say that because I'm an old lady now :-)
Temporary insanity.
