Interesting ruling from Criminal Court Judge Judge Richard M. Weinber, which in essence made it legal to pat someone on the rump without their consent. I know what you're thinking, but before you call me a pervert, here me out.
According to the judge 'patting' is ok. He used the literal meaning as contained in the New Oxford English Dictionary.
Whether or not it's sensible, I'll let you be the judge of that.
