It's not about "blaming' any "victim".
How is there any victim?
If she told him to stop or attempted to remove herself from the situation in any way, shape, or form, and he tried to prevent her from doing so or continued on with it, that would be criminal.
As it is, if she's been victimized, it's by herself.
When you lay there passively giggling and allow men to do things to you that you secretly wish they wouldn't do, you are demeaning and victimizing yourself.
You are not honoring yourself.
You are debasing yourself.
I'm not "blaming".
I don't personally care if women do this; it doesn't hurt me, it doesn't hurt society.
It only hurts them, and I wish for their own sakes they wouldn't do it.
But I'm not standing in judgement on them for it.

You are doing women a discredit by assuming that they can't even attempt to discourage aggressive sexual advances. They're too weak, too stupid, too afraid.
You think society needs to step in and prevent it, which is not only impossible but also not okay with me, because for as many women as there are who dislike this sort of thing, there are others who do like it, and who encourage it, at least in certain situations... and that's their right, and the police don't need to be busting into frat parties and bondage shows and rock concerts arresting every guy that's groping some chick, and every chick who is groping some guy.

Everybody needs to set their own boundaries.
Society will not and cannot do it for you.
The government can't, the police can't.
Others cannot be expected to honor your boundaries if you have none, or if you are not clear about stating them.

There are two kinds of freedom: freedom from and freedom to.
You have to give up a little bit of one, to have more of the other. That's how it works.
I want to keep my "freedom to".
I'll take care of my own "freedom from".
I'll decide what my own personal boundaries are, as everyone should.
If someone chooses not to respect my boundaries, then I'll call for assistance.
Until I do, please go sit upon a tack, and don't try to "protect" me.

This women was a legal age, sound mind and not being coerced. She took no actions indicating that she wanted the man to stop. That means its not sexual assault. That said, this man is complete jerk and lousy comedian. I would hope that he wouldn't get any further performances at the venue after that stunt. However, there is a big difference between being a scumbag and going to prison.

Well, I definitely don't think he should be imprisoned(don't think anyone said that)but he should realize that it was not funny, and bordered on disturbing. He knew exactly what he was doing by pin pointing an 18/19 year old. That's still around the age where most girls are unsure of themselves, and just gotten thru(or barely) the peer pressure stage. She was pulling her skirt back down which tells me that she was not all that willing to get freaky. Unfortunately, she probably didn't want to come across as a wet blanket and worried too much how she would be seen as a fuddy duddy that's no fun.

a better question is "since when is Johnny Vegas funny?"

being a fat disgusting drunken slob with no jokes shouldn't be a profession.

he's like a professional "that guy" at the party.

LMFAO You serious? You think women that are sexually assaulted don't complain or fight it during the assault "all the time"?

That's sure news to me.

Some do and some don't.

rivrrat

Yeah, I guess those bitches that willingly have sex and then cry rape the following day, week, month, whenever someone might demean them for it. They probably do.

But anywho.. if a person doesn't complain about an action being taken against them and fails to set those boundries, then I really can't see how it can be considered sexual assault.

As I'm fond of saying, you deserve what you tolerate.

Jerry

Well, all I can say is that if he did that to my wife or daughter I would have knocked his teeth out.
