Was Buchanan wrestler's move an illegal act? Athlete faces trial on a charge of sexual battery

In a crowded gym during practice in front of parents and coaches, the Buchanan High School wrestler tackled a teammate and executed a move his coaches taught him.

He inserted his fingers between the boy's buttocks.

It's called the "butt drag," in which a wrestler grabs a rival's butt cheek and puts fingers in the anus to get leverage. The move is widely used at matches around the country and has been around for decades.

I wrestled in H.S., but don't remember anything like this.

High school and college for me and I have never heard of it, but my last match was in 1972. I am sure new moves have evolved.

I found a pretty good clip on the move on Youtube. The poster was trying to be funny with the soundtrack, but it does show the “Butt drag” being used in a number of high school wrestling matches.

BTW, my older brother was a top notch wrestler, and I don’t remember him ever using anything like that!

“but I was never able to put my finger on it”

Apparently, you can’t in wrestling, either.

My step son Westeled and so did my nephews, none of them ever used this move and I am sure they would have balked at using it. The crap about it being widely used is so much BS.

The only move that would even be in the same area is pulling the opponents arm between their legs from behind and driving that up the backside. Still a far cry from fingers in the @ss. Nope! Someone pulling that on me would have changed it from a wrestling match to a fight.

Apparently a nanny state is okay as long as it involves someone else's nanny.

You can’t put your fingers in your opponents mouth, eyes or anus. The last one constitutes anal rape, the first two get you disqualified.

Preston's parents, Darren and Kristin Hill, said Preston has attended Clovis Unified since kindergarten and hasn't been in trouble before. They feel betrayed, they said, because they have donated money to their children's schools, and Kristin Hill has volunteered on school committees and been a crossing guard. "We have given our blood, sweat and tears for this school district," Darren Hill said ...
Parents have worked hard, but I don't have a lot of sympathy for this kid.
Rice, a former member of the Fresno Council on Child Abuse Prevention, said prosecutors and Clovis Unified shouldn't buckle under the pressure coming from the Hills and their friends.
Maybe Preston messed with the wrong parent's son. A conviction wouldn't bother me, but I don't think it will happen. He was obviously, though, if this story is correct, taunting Rice with further bullying. And the action, although they say is being taught by the coach and all the kids use it, sounds like a sex crime to me.
The perp with his many medals, and his mother.

"...but my last match was in 1972. I am sure new moves have evolved."

According to Wikipedia the rectum itself wasn't even discovered until early in the the first year of the Carter Administration.

"Though known in antiquity and referenced in literature as late as the time of Dante Alighieri, the anus fell into disfavor and for over five hundred years disappeared from popular consciousness...

"Only as a result of the relentless efforts of President Jimmy Carter's younger brother Billy did the orifice finally regain the former prominence and esteem it had historically held and so elevate its status to the level of popular affection with which it considered today."

Never heard of it.

I don’t think the match would have ended until I’d finished with the baseball bat if some kid had done that to me.

And a coach is teaching this? Shameful.

Total Bullshit

Please tell me what leverage one individual can gain over another by sticking a finger or two in ANY hole. The finger person is exposing themselves to resistance.

Real Reason: Nerve endings abound in the anus; and the body will react extremely when they are activated. IN ANY situation, this can be exploited.

This is bush league and illegal. This kid and the coaches should be tagged and bagged.

As I noted the first time this was posted, the butt drag is a common and legal move, has been forever. It doesn’t, however, involve putting your fingers in anyone’s anus, contrary to what the reporter wrote.

I’m not sure from reading this article if the boy admits to putting his fingers in the other wrestler’s anus and claims it was part of a butt drag or if he denies the fingering at all and claims he was only doing a butt drag.

Me, too. Depending on where you are nowadays, that move will either earn you a set of dentures or a dinner date.

Props to cripplecreek for the graphics!

This “move” is commonly called the oil check or chocolate finger in wrestling circles, as far as I know it is illegal and I have never done this move nor have I have I ever done it on me during my years of wrestling.

I knew of this from martial arts, but never heard of such a thing in the years I wrestled in HS and college.
