Title
An ordinance relating to the prohibition of mashing.
Sections
106-11 rc
Analysis
Current code provisions prohibit any person from improperly accosting, ogling, insulting, following, pursuing, laying hands on or otherwise molesting any person of the opposite sex theretofore to him or her unacquainted. This ordinance expands the existing provisions by prohibiting any person from committing such acts against any person of the opposite or same sex. In addition, the ordinance increases the maximum penalty for violating these provisions from $250 to $500. In lieu of paying a forfeiture, the violator may be ordered to perform community service work, in accordance with s. 800.09, Wis. Stats.
