In re Keith T

In In re Keith T. (1984) 156 Cal. App. 3d 983, the appellant had approached Susan S., an 18-year-old playground supervisor, put his arm on her waist and grabbed her vigorously by the crotch for approximately three seconds. The court found "no testimony at all indicating whether the touching was through pants, a dress, or undergarments. The record does not even disclose the manner in which the victim was dressed at the time of this incident. What is clear, however, is that the skin of the victim's intimate part was not touched." (Keith, supra, 156 Cal. App. 3d at p. 988.) The court reversed the juvenile court's finding of misdemeanor sexual battery.
