[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 991669, member: 72205"] Honestly I dunno about 'just in jest' I am happy to entertain 'done to provoke a reaction'. My only concern is the wording of the citing is clearly about intent to cause pain "grabbing, twisting or squeezing the genitals" where as marler did none of those things. So he's only going to get entry level 12 weeks (24 weeks would be completely disproportionate) but it does feel like he's getting longer than he should simply because the law book doesn't contain his offence. He needs a ban, genitalia needs the same no nonsense approach that eyes do, I just think they might want to revise the time off for actions clearly not intended to cause pain/harm. [/QUOTE]
