Quote

 

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.

“Love, you know I was joking,” the janitor said, according to the teenager’s testimony mentioned in the judgment.

 

 

I had heard of the 3 second rule for food but this is something else.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I saw this yesterday evening and thought "Well, that's enough internet for today". 

 

Can you imagine applying this nonsense to any kind of crime?

 

"Well, he only beat him with a baseball bat for 10 seconds, so it wasn't really assault!"

Can we have a shout out for all the Guys who never knew?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

When this popped up I thought this was the Groping rule in Ecu.

In Ecu and other places where "machista" behavior has been traditional, the time may be unlimited.  Unsure if this has been changing.
