Those naughty Colombian couriers!
This article has to have Title of the Year, four years for being a stupid pillock? Hrmmm. Colombians cage arse-grope bicycle courier http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02...cycle_courier/ Buttock-fondling ne'er-do-well gets four years. By Lester Haines Let's face it, they don't mess around in Colombia. To add to the many hazards of life in that sun-kissed paradise - including kidnap, death by coke-dealing guerillas, or getting shot by enraged footie fans (ok, that only applies to World Cup squad defenders, but still...) - is the very real possibility that a moment of macho madness might earn you an extended spell in chokey. More specifically, if you're a bicycle courier and you grab a handful of Diana Marcela Diaz's posterior, you can expect to spend the next four years playing hunt the soap in a Bogota slammer. Ms Diaz, the BBC reports, was on the receiving end of said outrage and, although the perp tried to make good his escape, he was debiked by passers-by. The unnamed octopus was subsequently cuffed, and his victim rather splendidly offered the option of "slapping him, letting him go, or filing a complaint". Declining to give him a good whack in the chops for his trouble, Diaz decided to "set a precedent that would stop sexist behaviour", as she explained. It worked too, because the bloke was banged up for a four stretch - a sentence slammed by some lawyers as "excessive". A (female) member of the national ombudsman's office said the courier had acted merely "out of lust", offering: "He didn't use violence or commit a sexual act." -- cfsmtb |

Same story but the facts vary a bit: http://www.telegraphindia.com/106022...ry_5897483.asp Slapper in slammer Bogota, Feb. 25: A Colombian man has been sentenced to four years' house arrest for slapping a woman's bottom as he rode by her on his bicycle, sparking debate on whether the punishment fit the crime. Showing re-enactments of the incident, television news shows were filled yesterday with legal experts offering opinions about the judgment handed down earlier in the week by Bogota's district court. Some said that to confine bicycle messenger Victor Garcia to his home for four years for smacking Diana Marcela Diaz's buttocks was excessive. Others said it would deter other men. One programme showed three models having their denim clad bottoms smacked so hard by a phantom hand it could be clearly heard by television viewers. The women said they hoped the case would mean they would be safer while on foot. -- Peter McCallum Mackay Qld AUSTRALIA |
