It was not right for the boy to just go touching the girl's breast, but this incident was NOT a sex crime. It was a situation where a kid did something stupid without thinking. It should have been handled by the boy's parents, period. If it were my kid, I would have made him apologize to the girl, then subjected him to a stern talking down to and perhaps grounded him. That would have been sufficient. The government had no room involving the police in this at all!

Not to mention that the girl really could have handled this herself if she'd wanted to. When I was a stupid kid I once dared a friend of mine to grab a girl's butt. He did. She turned around and walloped him across the chin. The other people surrounding those two burst out in laughter. My friend was so incredibly embarassed that he stayed home for three days playing sick.
I'm not saying that her use of violence against him was the right thing to do (it wasn't), nor am I saying that humiliating another person (whether through grabbing his or her behind or hitting him or her in public) is the right thing to do. I'm just saying that social structures are still in place by which she didn't really need the support of any authority figures to prevent it from happening again.
