Four years jail for groping woman's bottom
by Gulliver

A cheeky bicycle courier in Columbia landed himself in jail for four years for groping a woman pedestrian's bottom, a TV station reported.

A judge slapped the courier with the four-year sentence after ruling that he had committed an abusive sexual act.

The sentence was criticised by some legal eagles as being too harsh.

Victim of the courier's unwanted attentions Diana Marcela Diaz told RNC that he had cycled off after grabbing her, but had been caught by passers-by.

When the offender was arrested, she was given the choice of slapping him, letting him go, or filing a complaint.

She chose to set a precedent that would to a stop to sexist behavior, she told the TV station.

The station described the sentence as historic. But it has been attacked by some lawyers as excessive.

A female member of the national ombudsman's office said the courier had only acted out of lust. He didn't use violence or commit a sexual act, she added.

The offender is now left counting the high cost of his moment of lust - loss of his freedom and four years in jail.

She became so besotted with her pedal boat love that she refused to leave its side, even refusing to mingle with the other swans.
