Our thanks to JK for this in the Telegraph. Extracts:
A female football fan who groped a rival supporter has been spared jail despite the victim calling for the incident to be taken as seriously as an assault by a man.
Mother-of-six Jemma Whiteside, 40, grabbed the man’s genitals and rubbed her bottom against his shoulder at an Everton v Manchester City Premier League game.
She was said to have been heard saying: “I am going to f— him later, and I don’t even know his name.”…
District Judge James Clarke said: “In drink people can and often do things which are very out of character. I am sure the lady [J4MB emphasis] had been drinking during the course of the afternoon. She was a lady in high spirits [J4MB emphasis. The man’s a disgrace. Would he refer to a man who groped a woman as “a gentleman in high spirits”?] who was hurried by her friends and taking last sips of alcohol in the process.
“The defendant was a joker, and this is a prank that has gone very badly wrong whilst committed in drink and perhaps showing off to friends on the occasion.” [J4MB: The clear message? Women not responsible for actions when drunk, unlike men.]
