Female student charged with sexual assault for kissing male police officer

News.com.au is reporting this story from Italy. Excerpt:

'AN ITALIAN student is facing sexual assault charges for kissing a riot police officer in the middle of a protest.

Nina de Chiffre, 20, was demonstrating against the construction of a rail link in northern Italy when she came face to face with riot police. She decided to get a bit intimate with one of the officers, kissing and licking his helmet visor.
...
Then the Italian police union filed a complaint with a court in Turin, accusing Ms de Chiffre of sexual assault, La Repubblica reports.

"We have accused the protester of sexual violence and insulting a public official," said the union's general secretary, Franco Maccari.

"If the policeman had kissed her, World War III would have broken out," he said. "Or what if I had patted her on the behind? She would have been outraged. So if she does that to a man on duty, should it be tolerated?

"A kiss is a positive thing," he said. "But in this context, between these two people, it was just disrespect."

That sounds a bit cynical, but Ms de Chiffre's own words seem to back up Mr Maccari's argument. "No peace message," she wrote on Facebook. "I would hang all these disgusting pigs upside down."'

Let's see what happens - hopefully she'll keep on admitting this wasn't a harmless kiss and for once, a woman will be held as responsible as a man would be.
