OMG...some girls played this game and now they are up for felony sexual abuse. It's McMinnville, Or. How on earth could they think a game, with everyone, girls and boys playing could put these innocent girls in prison. Maybe for 30 years. I am so angered. These girls...I know are not bad...but the hit those those young men. Oh, got it wrong. The were male.
For those looking for an article on it.. (http://whatmatters2us.blogspot.com/2007/08/slap-butt-day-victims-disavow-criminal.html - broken link)
When one person, JUST ONE, goes home crying to their mother about how some buy touched her butt. I can understand the mothers getting upset. Personally, I think that the children themselves should get suspension and an assignment (yard work for the school) as a punishment. However, any school official that was present for these activities should be the one going to jail.
The school officials should be in trouble for allowing such actions to be taken in school. Yes, they're children, but when I was a child, I would not have wanted to be slapped on the bottom by ANYBODY.
However, if the school officials told them NOT TO and the kids did so anyways, then yes. The children should be in trouble.
Trying to use this incident as a "boys get treated worse than girls" is a double-edged sword. Whenever somebody comes forth, especially when their MOM is present, they get treated as a victim and are made to FEEL like a true victim. Children play into that "You poor thing" phase.
Best thing investigators can do is find who allowed the actions or who is at TRUE fault for this and get it taken care of. Children need to learn to keep their hands to themselves. I wouldn't have wanted to been slapped on the butt by a boy. I would not want my DAUGHTER to be slapped on the butt by a boy. Especially if she didn't want to be a part of it.
Now if she was doing the action, too. Then she would have no right to complain.
Of course. IMO, anybody involved should be punished the same as everyone else. However, society and such will automatically make the females "victims" since "doing such action is unlady-like."
I think that frame of mind is gradually changing with women becoming more assertive and more self-confident as the years go by. Women are more likely to go after what they want nowadays than in the past.

So now we're trying to set a legal precedent that will make baseball players rich everywhere?
People need to get over themselves. Distasteful maybe, but criminal? Hardly.
I think the one bringing the suit should have her ass grabbed a few times. I hope the whole town where she lives in starts doing it to her. I'd like to see them arrest everybody.
I can't believe what a waste of money and time this is. Give the kids saturday school, make them apologize, and get over it. I spent summers in McMinnville as a kid, its a great little city. Too bad the DA is doing this.
The case has been dismissed and, of course, the defendants will now countersue.
... Cory Mashburn and Ryan Cornelison walked out of the courtroom free from supervision for the first time in six months after apologizing to four girls as part of a compromise that averted a sexual harassment trial. They had been accused of swatting girls on the buttocks and touching two girls on the breast at their middle school. ...
