"Is there a man alive who wouldn't like it and consider it a compliment? Or laugh it off as a silly prank? The idea that a man would even consider pressing charges against a woman for such an act is ludicrous."
Bullcrap. I was at my music camp two years ago and an older woman was grabbing backsides. She tried to grab mine but I kept her at arm's length. I was angry at her whole attitude: "I'M allowed!"
She seemed to think that no male could touch HER behind, but that she had carte blanche to do so to males. People should respect the privacy of others.

I am not trying to be critical bg but I think you missed a golden opportunity to strike a blow for men's rights here. You should have let her know and everyone else that what she was doing was a felonious assault. It wasn't "cute" or female privilege. You would have at the very least had people thinking and talking about it.

Oh, make no mistake: I made something of it. When she said, "I'M allowed!" I very seriously said, "Uh, no you don't" and I and the other women's whose asses she was going after agreed that she acted inappropriately. I told the story to a few other campers (it was at a college, not an actual camp) and made the point that if I were going around grabbing behinds it would be dealt with severely. People agreed.
I wish I could have maced her.

There was a guy in Salem OR that was sentenced to life in prison for kissing a woman on the neck. I don't know all the particulars other than he was supposed to have been convicted of previous sex crimes. I don't know why, and I don't know what. But perhaps there is a different witch hunt in a different Salem? "It is a good day to die!"

Here in the US a man was recently sentenced to 7 years in prison and fined $25,000 for "feeling up" a woman passenger on a Delta Airlines flight going to Boston, Massachusetts.
Bank robbers get this type of sentence!
BOSTON (Reuters) - A business executive was sentenced on Thursday to seven years in prison for sexually assaulting a sleeping woman seated next to him on a Delta Air Lines flight from Dallas to Boston.
A statement from the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts said that on April 5, Deepak Jahagirdar, 55, laid a blanket over the 22-year-old woman who was returning from a vacation, unfastened her seat belt, unbuttoned her pants and assaulted her by touching her genitals.
"The woman immediately pulled Jahagirdar's hand from her pants and fled to the rear of the aircraft where she reported the assault to the flight crew," it said.
The crew alerted four U.S. Secret Service Agents who were on board the flight, returning from an assignment in Texas.
The plane was met by state police in Boston but Jahagirdar briefly tried to escape by trying to flee in the walkway between the plane and the airport.
Skin cells taken from Jahagirdar, an Arizona man whom authorities said did not know the woman, showed a "significant quantity of the victim's DNA was present on his hands" after the incident, the statement said.
After his release, Jahagirdar must pay a $25,000 fine and be supervised by authorities for two years

I thought at first this took place at the Ivy League school or in the capital of South Carolina.
I can't fault the woman here. She opted not to strike the guy, which is good, and by filing a complaint she probably had no idea the sentence would be so long.
Make no mistake: if a woman touched my behind without my permission, I'd be filing a complaint, too, but I think four years is a tad much.
