Is grabbing someones breast considered sexual harassment?


someone did that to my friends gf and im tryin to help him out

she told him not to do it but he kept doing it anyways

No, it's sexual battery, and it's a felony.

Richard

yes it is

Not at all. As per the law, sexual harassment is 'unwanted sexual advances.' Therefore the grabber HAS to be told by the person who was grabbed that they do not want this type of advances. THEN and ONLY then if the incident repeats itself would it be considered sexual harassment.

i think so

what he said ^

Not just harrassment ... it is sexual assault

Yea, it sure is.

Is posting a question like this stupid?

In MOST cases, yes.

Of course it is.He needs to be arrested.

Only if she didn't want him to grab it.

yes if she was offended

I agree with the sexual battery answer. Battery is any touching when not given permission.

yes

NAH!

I do it all the time!

Nope, it's sexual battery/assault.

absolutely ...if someone touched my breast and he wasn't "allowed" to that boy/girl would of been hit. :P What if someone went up to and grabbed your "family Jewels"

yes... any unwanted touching is considered sexual harrassment... although sometime this has to be verbally address to the offender before action can be taken. what you are referring to is definitely harassment, no questions asked

yep very bad, probably a crime

If it really isn't that serious, don't take it that far, with cops and everything. You can even punch the guy or scare him and make him apologize as corny as it sounds..
its battery though.

it's sexual assault and you could be arrested for it if the person didn't want you to. and yes it's also sexual harrassment

yes, if you said no

depends. its only harrasment if the grabee didnt want to be touched. unless it was a questions of the fabric of her shirt., ex: she could have said her shirt was made of cotton, and he disagreed and told her its FELT. :P

It really all depends on if she wanted him to do it...if she asked him outright to grab her chest. If she did, then the woman really wouldn't have a case.
However, if she did not lead this man on, if she told him to stop and/or said "no" or asked him to leave her alone, then it is not only sexual harrassment, but also sexual assualt.
