In an incident that echoes Donald Trump's "pussy-grabbing" controversy, a Republican politician has been arrested and charged with sexual assault after an altercation with a woman ended with him grabbing her crotch.
http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/news-an ... ts8ok.html
According to local media, the arrest warrant alleged Christopher von Keyserling responded to the woman's comment that it's "a new world politically" by telling her "I love this new world, I no longer have to be politically correct."

The conversation descended into name-calling, and von Keyserling followed the woman into her office where he allegedly reached between her legs and "pinched her groin area"

Looks like the scum is rising in the new American political environment

It's sad (and scary) to hear, but honestly not too surprising. This is pretty much what everyone knew would happen if Scumbag Trump won the election.

Much of what was predicting is now coming to pass. When you have the president of the US and members of his own party behaving in this manner it's sending a message (particularly to younger people) that you no longer have to be "PC" which we know is code for old fashioned racism, misogyny, elitism, classism and homophobia that many in the right wing yearn to return to.

Normalising anti-social behavior which is ironic given the republicans espouse christian values, law and order etc...

Please note, not all Republicans are like this. I am no way trying to defend this man's actions either, what he did was a shame to mankind. I do know many respectful Republicans though. I think it's true that politics can corrupt most people, only the purest of hearts survive.

To be sure, that's true, not all Republicans are going to grab a woman's crotch, and think he'll face no consequences. But what this is really is about is how Trump has unleashed something ugly in our country.

Apparently the whole incident was caught on video surveillance as well, seems a pretty open and closed case to me.

My point was that the president of the US (as of tomorrow) made these comments

As the father of a young girl I find it disturbing we live in world where inappropriate sexual behavior is condoned and encouraged by people holding the highest office in the most powerful country in the world....yes I understand that not all republicans support this behavior but already you have an (ostensibly) intelligent elderly elected republican politician acting out on Trump's words. It's not a long stretch to think this attitude has become normalised in many who supported the current president
