Roslyn Corrigan, the daughter of a CIA employee based in Texas, told TIME magazine that the 41st president grabbed her behind when he visited her fathers office and took a photo with her family in November 2003.
As soon as the picture was being snapped on the one-two-three he dropped his hands from my waist down to my buttocks and gave it a nice, ripe squeeze, which would account for the fact that in the photograph my mouth is hanging wide open, she said.
Corrigan says that she was 16 years old and a child at the time.

(23,955 posts)Her mother, Sari, said Corrigan told her about the encounter as soon as Bush stepped away.
When he left, my daughter Rozi said, He grabbed me on the rear end. And I said, What, what?' Sari said. And she said, Yes, he grabbed me when they were taking the picture. He grabbed me on my butt. And I was like, Oh my god, are you kidding me?
I was really, really upset she was very upset, she was really, really mad, she added. Sari said she would have tried to take action had it been just some Joe Blow or something. Id probably chase him down and yell at him.
But, you know, its the president. What are you supposed to do? she said in a Oct. 28 interview. And youve got your husbands job that could be in jeopardy. I mean, you just didnt then. You shouldyou should have always spoken up, alwaysbut we didnt.

(24,646 posts)I worked part time as a waitress at a family restaurant. One night, at the end of my shift, my boss smacked my rear end, telling me I had good hustle and was an asset to the crew. I was completely mortified. I drove home and told my dad who was waiting up for me. I'd only ever seen that look on my dad's face once or twice in my life. He loaded me up in the car and we drove back to the restaurant at 11pm. My dad went after my boss, backed him up against a wall and asked him if he thought he had the right to touch someones child. My boss laughed and said "she's 17, she's not a child". My dad said "she is MY child and what you did is criminal." Dad then told my employer that he would wait while he wrote my final check and that he expected a glowing letter of reference for me in the mail within a week. We left after that and I never went back. I actually got the reference letter from that slime bag.
Thanks Dad.
