I'm not arguing that this was an entirely harmless act and I'm not arguing that there shouldn't be punishment for all the adults involved. What I am saying is that while it very possibly and likely made some of the kids in the room intensely uncomfortable, the incident was not abusive and certainly nothing like a 14 year old being raped by a 30 year old. Honestly, using that as a comparison is ridiculous, it trivializes the monstrosity of the latter.
Assuming the dancers were clothed, in terms of underwear and bras. At that point it's no worse than the Victoria's Secret show or MTV Spring Break, not things I think a 13 year old should be watching but also not things I think that felony sex charges would be an appropriate response to.
