If so then that is a bit low.
19 years ago or not it makes no difference.
These people who feel, that because of their celebrity status, they can get away with groping young girls need to be given the strong message that it is wrong.
It is almost as if you are saying that 19 years ago women were seen purely as sexual objects and it was something that came with the territory.
In 1966 I was working in a mill....I was 19 years old and newly married......one of the men I worked alongside thought it was just fine to cop a feel of my bum......I just happened to have a spanner in my hand and he copped a feel of my spanner right across his knuckles.
Needless to say he didn't come near my bum again and sported a very handsome purple bruise for a couple of weeks. I hope he explained it to his wife truthfully.
Not everyone reacts to such incidents in the same way...maybe she thought it was her fault...quite a few victims do......maybe she was too embarrassed to admit what he had done.

I think there's a difference between thinking it's acceptable behaviour, and thinking its a criminal offence worthy of losing your house and career over M.
He "goosed" someone, he didn't systematically rape kids like others in this thread.
I dare say a lot of men of a certain age group have goosed a woman at one time or another.It should have been dealt with at the time, a swift smack around the chops would have sufficed since she didn't have a spanner to hand.
I'm just unsure if being dragged through two court cases and losing your house in the process is proportional punishment for once groping someone's boobs etc.
