The hate has been unleashed.

Then you're in for an education. It happened in the 60s, too. A cousin's classmate had a teacher yank at her miniskirt that way when he was in high school, ca 1967-1969. Not sure about the year, because I was in either kindergarten or first grade when he told our grandmother about it. And she had to take it--nobody took her side, other than the principal saying that the man should have remembered not to expose her naughty bits to her classmates.

All kinds of people think they have ownership of a woman's body and how they think it should look enough to demonstrate it by yanking at her clothes, grabbing at her hair (especially that of black women), trying to smudge off makeup and more.

This is nothing new. Not in the bloody least. I imagine it's the rare woman who's never had someone deem her appearance unsuitable, then attempt to 'fix' it.

I hear you 100%. I was taking the OP to be stranger -on- stranger confrontation, which is getting worse.

First, it's battery either way. She could have tugged on her coat sleeve & it would be battery.
2nd, if she thought the woman was underage, she is now a child molester.
Finally, she's obviously channeling 1885.
Add those up: 1+2+3=Crazy.

"KSL has learned Lorenzo may be an employee of the Utah Attorney General’s Office. In a statement, the office did not confirm her employment but said it is “aware of the alleged incident and (is) addressing the situation.”"

"Lorenzo was arrested on Wednesday and charged the same day with sexual battery, a class A misdemeanor."
