GOLD HILL, Ore. (AP) — A 15-year-old boy who pinched and twisted the nipples of a 13-year-old has been sentenced to three days of community service for harassment.
David Thumler, 15, said the ”titty-twister” was just horseplay. The mother of 13-year-old Matthew Cox counters that the incident was humiliating for her son, who saw it as an assault from an older, bigger bully.
”They’re not friends,” she said. ”If he was my son’s friend, it would be a different thing,” said Bobby Cox.
In addition to the community service, Thumler has been ordered to pay a $67 fine and the misdemeanor has been placed on his permanent record. He can request to have it removed when he turns 18.
Ken Chapman, a Jackson County juvenile probation supervisor, said Oregon law defines physical harassment as ”offensive physical touching.”
That includes such adolescent antics as ”wet-willies,” ”wedgies,” ‘’swirlies,” ”noogies” and all other forms of ”Three Stooges” behavior, Chapman said.
According to David, the two boys were in line at a local deli when Matthew jokingly made an embarrassing remark to the female clerk about David. In retaliation, David counterattacked with the ”titty-twister,” the 15-year-old said.
”It’s a thing of camaraderie,” David said. ”If he’s going to assume our friendship is on that level, then so am I.”
A lawyer hired by the 15-year-old’s family called the juvenile court’s actions ”Orwellian.”
