jade answered Thursday June 30 2005, 12:51 am: you most certainly will not get in trouble!!!
what you did was the right thing! this man was in the wrong and he shouldn't make you feel other-wise or doubt your reaction.
and if he had any brains, which i'm sure he didn't considering he's a sick old man, he would figure out that by pressing charges on you, the reason for why you punched him would come out, and he would be arrested!
what you did was completley the right thing. if you haven't told a parent or an adult yet you really need to do that because this is very serious! however, do not worry that you will be in trouble for what you did.
it was clearly self-defense and any other smart, self-respecting person would have done the same thing as you! [ jade's advice column | Ask jade A Question ]
karenR answered Friday June 17 2005, 6:49 pm: Don't worry about it. I doubt he wants to get in trouble for groping you so I don't think he is going to press charges. If for some reason he does...well, press charges on him for groping you. You probably should file a police report anyway, then it will be on record if he does try to press charges. I honestly don't think he will though. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Look2Linh answered Friday June 17 2005, 2:57 am: it was for self-defense. you did the right thing. i don't know that much but that IS considered rape. don't worry. he's goin to jail. [ Look2Linh's advice column | Ask Look2Linh A Question ]
xXxpinky615xXx answered Thursday June 16 2005, 2:09 pm: He can't press charges on you if he touched you. That is sexual harrasment and he could be arrested, thrown in jail and YOU can press charges. You need to go to the police about what he did because of that. The whole punching him in the nose is self defence and you can't get in trouble for that at all. Call the cops and you can get him arrested and if he says he's going to press charges on you for making him bleed then it's crap, because he can't if you were defending yourself.

lissyxluvsu answered Thursday June 16 2005, 10:20 am: No you shouldn't get into trouble. I mean do you even know this guy? Seriously and you were just defending yourself. And honestly I think this would be like the absolute dumbest court case ever because I mean you were defending yourself and it was just a bloody nose!
S_C answered Thursday June 16 2005, 10:01 am: Does he even know you? If not he won't be able to press charges unless he figures it out. And you can't get into trouble for that, he was doing something he shouldn't have been doing and you protected yourself. If he tries to press charges then you yourself should press charges. He started it, and well we can all say that you were the one to finish it haha. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
HeathaAa answered Thursday June 16 2005, 9:34 am: he probably wont even press charges when he realizes that he will get in a lot more trouble for touching you then you will for punching him! [ HeathaAa's advice column | Ask HeathaAa A Question ]
helpingyou answered Thursday June 16 2005, 9:12 am: Well, you were just defending yourself and i mean he WAS trying to rob you! and i mean if he touched you HE can be in alot of trouble! and yeah he did start it lol!!!
