H.W. Bush accused of sexual assault

Post by _DoubtingThomas »

"Former President George H.W. Bush is facing allegations that he squeezed a teenager's buttocks in 2003. In an interview with Time magazine published Monday, Roslyn Corrigan said she was 16 years old when Bush, then 79, touched her inappropriately at a November 2003 event in The Woodlands, Texas, office of the CIA, where her father had gathered with fellow intelligence officers and family members to meet Bush. Corrigan told the magazine Bush groped her buttocks as she and her mother, Sari Young, posed for a photograph with the former president. "As soon as the picture was being snapped, on the one-two-three he dropped his hands from my waist down to my buttocks and gave it a nice, ripe squeeze, which would account for the fact that in the photograph my mouth is hanging wide open," Corrigan told Time, her first public interview about the incident. "I was like, 'Oh my goodness, what just happened?'"'"

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! May H.W. Bush spend the last days of his worthless life suffering in prison! Bush is just a perverted pig with too much libido.

Can you see a difference between what Bush did and what Weinstein did?

Weinstein is accused of so many things I haven't been keeping up, be specific.

It is my understanding that touching someone's buttlock is sexual abuse and can be punished up to one year of prison in Utah, plus a lifetime of sex offender.

I am not sure what Weinstein has anything to do with the topic. To me Weinstein is a nobody.

Both engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with women. Can you see the difference?

Do you believe all inappropriate sexual contact should be treated the same?

Someone touching your butt is not as serious as rape, but I do agree it is inappropriate.
