And if this was your daughter, friend, wife.....you would feel how about this, exactly? Kids will be kids, right?
Well, can you imagine a kid farting in someone's face when they are doing something (kneeling maybe) right behind them? In the locker room, player A is kneeling while tying his shoe while player B walks up and farts in his face.
From reading the story, at first it kind of sounds like Peyton was being funny and dropped his shorts real quick to put his butt on her head... but then it sounds like he held it there and she had to push him off. So was it for one second or 10 seconds? (Naturally when the butt is there with the pants down the scrotum tends to hang down touching whatever is there. Such is the added benefit for the victim to add this truth to her story to make it sound even worse than just his bare butt touching her head. Whether Peyton even considered that his junk might touch her head, one cannot deny that it more than likely did happen, as brief as it may have been.)
Without knowing more details, its hard to know exactly how it happened, but it doesn't sound like he held her on the ground and shoved his naked butt in her face. It does however sound like he did it for more than just a second.
I just now brought my wife in her and had her read the story and my response above.
She knows the difference between a man groping/raping/etc. a woman and a college student trying to be funny and taking the opportunity that presented itself for his own humor.
My wife 100% believes this is a kid being a kid. That doesn't mean that she (or myself for that matter) thinks it was appropriate and that it shouldn't have any punishment.
My wife said, "the woman has every right to complain and to file a lawsuit, but that doesn't mean Manning is a horrible person. It means he actually did something that many"
typical jocks "would consider humorous."
Like I said before, Manning should have dealt with this in the 90's and took the punishment then and got it over with, whether it meant having to register as a sex offender or probation or whatever may be. Deal with it like a man.
