Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill Friday to increase the penalties for groping in Texas, patching what some lawmakers say is a gap in the state’s current laws on sexual assault.
Groping was the lowest-level criminal offense in the state penal code, punishable by a $500 fine at most. Experts on sexual assault laws say Texas — which puts groping an adult under the category of “assault by offensive contact” — was one of six states with such a light penalty. – by Sami Sparber
