[QUOTE="net1, post: 23656"] Italy's High Court has overturned a controversial ruling that decreed that pinching a woman's bottom was not a crime. The new decision, by a panel of judges sitting in Rome, means that pinching a woman's bottom is classed as sexual assault. The judges said: ''Fondling buttocks, unquestionably constitutes a sexual act because the perpetrator commits a substantive and concrete intrusion into the victim's sexual sphere. Such acts, albeit superficial, amount to assault.'' The new ruling is a complete U-turn on a decision issued in January 2001 which said that it was not a crime for a man to pinch or touch a woman's bottom provided it was a ''sudden and isolated action.''
