What is the Kerrching thing?
Are you suggesting she alleged the incident to gain financially?
If so then that is a bit low.
19 years ago or not it makes no difference.
These people who feel, that because of their celebrity status, they can get away with groping young girls need to be given the strong message that it is wrong.
It is almost as if you are saying that 19 years ago women were seen purely as sexual objects and it was something that came with the territory.

In 1966 I was working in a mill....I was 19 years old and newly married......one of the men I worked alongside thought it was just fine to cop a feel of my bum......I just happened to have a spanner in my hand and he copped a feel of my spanner right across his knuckles.

Needless to say he didn't come near my bum again and sported a very handsome purple bruise for a couple of weeks. I hope he explained it to his wife truthfully.

Not everyone reacts to such incidents in the same way...maybe she thought it was her fault...quite a few victims do......maybe she was too embarrassed to admit what he had done.
