A court ruling that found a school janitor not guilty of groping a student because the act only lasted less than 10 seconds has sparked outrage in Italy.

In their decision, the judges of the fifth criminal section of the Court of Rome said they acquitted the accused, a 66-year-old man according to Italian state broadcaster RAI, of sexual assault because the whole thing lasted “about five to ten seconds.”

In her testimony, the then 17-year-old girl, according to RAI, said the act happened in April 2022 as she was climbing the staircase at school with a friend.

She testified that she pulled up her trousers and felt a hand tucked inside them, under her briefs, touching her buttocks, according to the judgment, issued July 6.

A “less than 10 second grope” in Italy is considered a major social insult!

If the grope was swift, you must acquit!

How long until our judges decide that 5-10 seconds of unwanted touching is no crime?

I thought it was the Bee, and the subject was Biden. Not the Bee.

How does a 10-second grope compare to a 4-second nipple pinch? I wonder.

It’s not like it was grope-grope said Whoopi.

So I guess if you pop-off in 10 seconds or less and get your wife (or anyone else) pregnant...you are not the father and can’t be required to pay child support, etc???

I think the judge needs to have hit balls put in a vice for less than 10 seconds and see if he changes his mind.

Half the men in the world don’t take longer than 10 seconds to finish copulation.
