if this was just a harmless prank it's one thing. if the guy is a nut job then it's another. need more information.

four years hard time plus 6 more of probation just seems really excessive for the incident. wonder if he had an attorney who was provided by the state?

No, there doesn't. This is battery. It's not "cute" or "whimsical" or "puckish". It's battery Recursion Jan 2013 #43

Subtle. One step above a cave-man club and dragging her by her hair. TwilightGardener Jan 2013 #2

Sounds like he was stalking her: Butterbean Jan 2013 #5

Definitely assault of some kind. librabear Jan 2013 #10

It's battery. Assault would be threatening to handcuff her. Recursion Jan 2013 #54

If it was stalking, it sure as hell IS appropriate. kestrel91316 Jan 2013 #14

Changing HER shifts? Why the hell didn't they just fire HIM Ken Burch Jan 2013 #19

i wondered that myself. niyad Jan 2013 #25

I said it "seems harsh" based on the article - which didn't go into any detail AAO Jan 2013 #28

all the additional information helps. but even in the first article, the bastard handcuffs a woman niyad Jan 2013 #31

You're right - I changed the title. AAO Jan 2013 #57

thank you niyad Jan 2013 #58

Seems about right to me, given the context cthulu2016 Jan 2013 #17

Stalking, assault, battery, terrorization -- he was harsh on her all right Hekate Jan 2013 #20

I commented on the OP article, left a lot of questions AAO Jan 2013 #29

Good. I guess his white male privilege didn't mitigate his sentence. (nt) Nye Bevan Jan 2013 #21

Actually, that privilege may have kept him from being fired or arrested much, much earlier. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #26

I have to agree with you when you pointed out upthread that the response was Nye Bevan Jan 2013 #27

as a matter of curiousity, why is the word victim in quotation marks? niyad Jan 2013 #32

Those aren't quotations marks; they're asterisks Orrex Jan 2013 #42

thank you-- I did not see the asterisks--apparently not enough caffeine this morning. niyad Jan 2013 #44

MORE COFFEE!! Orrex Jan 2013 #45

making a second pot now! niyad Jan 2013 #46

I don't think it's harsh at all. sibelian Jan 2013 #24

Really? Cause to me that sounds like battery and sexual harrassment (nt) Recursion Jan 2013 #30

How for the freak of shite does this seem HARSH? Chorophyll Jan 2013 #33

This dude is a weirdo madokie Jan 2013 #34

Sounds like psychiatric treatment would have been more appropriate. n/t WhoIsNumberNone Jan 2013 #39

There is definately more to the story... I think they guy is just plain stupid. Glassunion Jan 2013 #41

that wasn't enough? what part of the stalking, etc. did you not get? niyad Jan 2013 #47

That's exactly my point. Glassunion Jan 2013 #48

and my point is that you clearly did not read the rest of the information in this thread, which niyad Jan 2013 #49

Ooh my bad... I did not realize it against the DU rules to read an OP and the linked article Glassunion Jan 2013 #51

the point is, the information was in any number of the posts in this thread, which you had niyad Jan 2013 #56

Too bad he didn't try that little stunt with a woman like my daughter. Ikonoklast Jan 2013 #52
