This is the type of crime that needs to be a summons, and damn sure not one that someone would have to register as a SO for.

Can't believe taxpayers' money would go into them hearing/prosecuting such a stupid thing. Well, maybe I should rephrase that... I guess I can believe anything anymore.

It's all a rouse(sp?), the law's trying to make him pay for Alone In The Dark. I heard Uwe Bol was being held on a similar chage in Prague.

So a woman got her ass grabbed in NYC and she yells for police? Doesn't that happen to every woman there like, three times a day? In Des Moines it's offensive...in NYC it's like saying hello. I'm not making light of real sexual assault or anything but please.

Strippers Come To Slater's Defense
Strippers at New York club Scores are offering their services to troubled actor Christian Slater - to help him avoid a sex pest tag. The movie star was arrested in New York on Tuesday for allegedly groping a woman on the street. But strippers at Scores, where Broken Arrow star Slater is a client, insist they'll come to his defense and testify he always keeps his hands to himself and behaves like "a perfect gentleman" when he's a guest at the club.

Slater Cleared of Groping Charge
Groping charges against Christian Slater have been dismissed. A judge made the decision to throw out the charges this morning, during a pretrial motion hearing in New York City. Slater enthuses, "The case is over. I'm thrilled. I'm glad that the prosecution felt the case was worthy of dismissal... It just shows that someone can accuse you of anything." Slater, 36, had been accused of grabbing a woman on a New York City street early in the morning of May 31 as the actor was allegedly arguing with his girlfriend. The actor's lawyer, Eric Franz, says, "I think the fact that this case was dismissed speaks for itself. I think it suffices to say we are relieved." If convicted of the two misdemeanors for which he had been charged, Slater could have faced up to a year in prison. In mid-July, he turned down a plea deal offered to him. Under the deal, Slater would have performed three days of community service in exchange for pleading guilty to a charge of second-degree harassment.

It just seems terrible that someone could go to jail because some nameless woman yells "He grabbed my ass". Be a little hard to prove wouldn't it. I guess that would be a case for C.S.I, but then the agents would go to jail after they have to fingerprint her butcheeks.

We don't know that the guy did a damn thing other than to stand in line behind someone who is accusing him of grabbing her ass. HEY, it's a recognizable actor- I could make money from this guy!
