... I posted to "Women's Right & Issues". In that case the victim was an adult woman who was sent unsolicited photos of a man's tattooed penis and she reported him to the police. However, the outcome of the case was the same -- she lost. So the message seems to be that sexual harassment of women and girls is fine as long as its via cellphone. No doubt the result in these two cases has sent the message loud and clear that women are fair game.

BTW, about that tattoo -- you'll just have to read the article for what it said. I'm really not compelled to type it again.
