"Kilt check" question

[Highlander31]

Like Zardoz, I have been kilt checked at the Renfaires, and sometimes at the games. It is always been polite and in good fun. I have not had a woman I didn't know ever lift my kilt. What I usually get is a woman wanting to have her picture taken with me and she will slide her hand down the back of my kilt. Some offer an explanation, "I was just straightening your pleats".

I did have one man try to lift my kilt in a pub. He was quite inebriated and I slapped his hand the first time. When he tried a second time, I used the pressure point near the clavicle to drop him to his knees. At that point everyone in the pub knew what he had tried to do. He was quiet the rest of the evening.

I wouldn't file charges for an unwanted kilt check. In today's times of Political Correctness, it could actually ruin somebody's life with a sexual predator label, at least here in the States that could be the end result (assuming you could get a district attorney to prosecute.) I'm willing to bet that most of us have done one or two stupid things when we were younger, which could have made life miserable if the other person involved wanted to push it. But that's just my opinion.
