So, you missed the definition by law of sexual battery and you intentionally omitted the most
important points. For being so tough, so brazen, so hot-shot, so truthful...you certainly are
quite the coward. (By the way, I'm a woman violent crime victim who single-handedly
changed California law for violent crime victims in California, and I don't tolerate predators,
female or male. I don't really care what low-life excuse you give. I'd grind you into the ground so fast you wouldn't know what hit you.)
Let's repeat the lesson for those who weren't paying attention the first time about SEXUAL BATTERY:
1) Anyone [that includes females like Becky] who touches the intimitate part [that includes a person's crotch] of another person [that includes Becky's mother-in-law];
2) And the touching is against the will of the person touched [that means if your mother-in-law
didn't want you touching her crotch it was against her will to have you lay your hands on her
private parts,including crotch]
3) While that person [Becky's mother-in-law] is unlawfully restrained
4) including for the purpose of sexual abuse [that's for the police, prosecutors and a jury to
decide and I don't think a jury would have any problem giving a "guilty" verdict on this kind of
conduct]
5) is guility of sexual battery.
As the famous sex crimes prosecutor/attorney/author/child advocate Andrew Vachss says
about " [ men and women] sexual predators they aren't just sick, but sickening." Becky's response isn't just sick, but SICKENING...and her conduct is an arrestable, prosecutable, offense.
We build jails and prisons for men and women sexual predators...who think that the world
is for their taking, and that all of us are to be used and abused...because they (including
Becky) feel like it! We don't have to convince Becky to do the right thing; we only have to
convince a jury that she did the wrong thing!
Perhaps, before being on the Dr. Phil show, you should have talked to a criminal defense attorney. Since you announced on national television what you did to your mother-in-law (i.e. grabbing her crotch), you do realize that if you ever touch somebody's private parts again, and they don't want you to (sexual battery) , that the tape of your statement on Dr. Phil can be used against you in a court of law? That's called giving the prosecution enough rope to hang you!
Does your fun and games include jail and/or prison time? Does your fun and games include being marked as a sexual predator for life, including on the Megan's List of registered sex offenders, having your career hurt, reputation ruined, etc.? And once you're marked as a sexual predator..you're legally not allowed to have kids around you (no parties, no holidays with family,
friends and neighbors), etc.
You're absolutely right: You don't have to voluntarily straighten up and fly right. We have police, prosecutors, juries, judges, prisons and jails to do just that for people who have ZERO boundaries. Your family may enable, the rest of society, thankfully, won't.
And somehow, I just don't think you'd like it if some man grabbed your crotch. You expect to treat other people like trash, when you would be completely offended and outraged if somebody did the same to you.

Dear Becky's relative,
I don't get why you stand for an iota of Becky's behavior -- any of you? If she was one of my relatives I'd practice "tough love" on her; and trust me I've practiced it on some of my own relatives. Such as,
"You're not invited to the party because you hurt people, everybody is angry with you, you are embarrassing. We accept that you choose to conduct yourself that way. We don't feel, however, like
being around you any more since you've choosing to conduct yourself this way. We want to have a nice party; you don't make it a nice party. Therefore, you're not invited to this party." Strip Becky of her privileges, just like a kid. Trust me, she'll change her ways, just like a kid! Let her WORK to
get back in your good graces.
I don't know what state you and Becky live in, but here in California grabbing somebody's crotch,
as I read in the transcript of Dr. Phil's questioning of her, Becky grabbed her mother-in-law's crotch,
is a crime in this state, and many others, and it's called: Felony sexual battery. It doesn't matter if
you're a man or a woman who commits this offense; if you do it -- you've broken the law and can
be arrested, booked, jailed, and prosecuted for sex crimes!
According to Becky and Dr. Phil, Becky grabbed her mother-in-law's crotch and told her that she
should grow some br***sts. Besides being completely horrifying and unacceptable, it's against the law in most states. [read the transcript of Dr. Phil's interview with Becky.
What are you people thinking? Why haven't you folks turned her into police, had the mother-in-law write up a police report, and had the witnesses write up police reports?
And if Becky did this in front of me, in California, I'd call 9-1-1 so fast on her, and have her arrested
for alleged sexual battery, that she wouldn't know what hit her. If Becky doesn't want to face
arrest and prosecution she should keep her hands to herself!!!
Here's California's penal code on sexual battery. [Note: Why don't you call your District Attorney's
office's sex crimes unit and ask them to read the applicable laws about sexual battery in your area.

243.4. (a) Any person who touches an intimate part of another
