Hello? Is that the Italian judiciary? This is 1973 calling, we'd like our attitudes to women back please...

I read that and came straight here to see the comments. This one will run and run.
How long before the first apologist posts……

Even in Italy, even in 1973, I'm pretty sure this wasn't acceptable.

As Stewie said, WTF? Utterly perverse judgement in all senses.

"This used to be normal, nobody cared, Eileen in accounts back at British Leyland used to love it when you'd grab her tits, we all had a laugh about it" etc ,etc, etc

Reckon there's time in 10 seconds?

I saw the headline of the article earlier and thought "well, if it's under ten seconds, like maybe half a second, maybe he brushed up against her, could be accidental, etc, storm in a teacup and all that, I can understand why a three and a half year sentence could be excessive". Then I actually read the article and thought what the actual fk! How is that even groping!?? That's serious sexual assault! WTF was that judge on.

Edit - 3.5 years, not 18 months.

Roll on the “I’m not a pervert / rapist / sexual deviant, but…” posts where they try to normalise this and then reference how it was back in the day and how women actually enjoyed it, because it made then feel special / wanted.

Almost

"That's just PC gone mad. When i were an 18 year old lad working in a women's underwear factory you should have seen what they were like! Touching me up, asking me about the size of my "equipment", offering me a "knee trembler....we just shrugged it off as banter and good fun"

Is this like the 5 second rule, but for Berlusconi?

Really interested to see the mental gymnastics needed to try to make this seem ok.

Shocking stuff from the Italians

[Jasandjules]

WTF?

There is no way this will stand an Appeal surely?!?

[leef44]

I hope they are investigating the judge. He probably has lots of nine second videos on there!

[soupdragon1]

Can't believe what I've just read

I've a daughter. If I lived in Italy I would have to move away. This just sends a message that sexual assault is ok if you're quick about it. Complete insanity.

Imagine going into a bar, you see an attractive women and think, I can have a grope here and nothing can be done about it. WTF.

One can only hope that a woman who gouges out the eyes of her attacker with her stiletto heels will also be let off, as long as she takes less than ten seconds.

Would be fun to send some of our joyless, lemon sucking , po faced feminists for some R&R ..
