16. I'm still troubled.

I read this

Then I saw Al Franken. I only bug celebrities for pictures when it’ll make my foster mom happy. She loves Franken, so I asked to get a picture with him. We posed for the shot. He immediately put his hand on my waist, grabbing a handful of flesh. I froze. Then he squeezed. At least twice.

He "grabbed" her waist during a photo (her alleged perception) and this is a big sex crime?

The account provided by the first woman who came forward has not stood up well to scrutiny - by the facts.

I've really appreciated Sen Franken. I'm troubled that his efforts are being diminished by suspect or unconvincing allegations. If he's truly been up to no good, I do not have a problem accepting he must resign but I'd like some solid/better evidence of that before he resigns.
