GOLD HILL, Ore. -- High school student David Thumler is a convicted nipple pincher.
He's going to have to spend four days in juvenile detention for refusing to write a letter explaining himself after twisting the nipple of another boy while they were standing on line at a deli.
Thumler was convicted of offensive physical touching in July 2005. The victim's parents had complained to Gold Hill police.
The Gold Hill, Ore., boy has already served three days of community service emptying trash cans, mowing lawns and shoveling gravel, along with paying a $67 fine for the offense. But he refused to write the letter holding himself accountable, which would have spared him the time in juvee.
Thumler presented a rough draft but balked when told he must also describe his "criminal thought processes." Thumler said he had no criminal intent because he considered the victim to be a friend at the time.
He said writing it would imply malicious or criminal intent. Thumler, who's 16, said he was just fooling around.
The victim offender program that requires the letter said it prepares teens to be accountable.

Maybe we aren't getting the whole story but c'mon. I could see if this was a sexual assault or if the victim was left bleeding and scarred but really...
After we go after all of the purple-nurple kids we can start prosecuting the kids giving out Charlie-horses, Indian burns, wedgies, wet-willies and Hertz Donuts.
