WA - The Caffeine Excuse for Sexual Assault

[believe09]

Sometimes, words fail.

SEATTLE -- A school bus driver who was convicted of assault for groping teens and women claims an excessive intake of caffeine drove him to the acts.

Kenneth Sands, 51, tried to explain himself at his sentencing on Tuesday.

If caffeine causes you to be a sex offender, then stop drinking coffee! I realize this is the northwest and that coffee is a main staple here. If it's that hard, then move away. Far far away.

I don't buy this excuse or any other excuse. :snooty:

I don't think I have ever heard this one before. Beer would make more sense.

Have to agree with Kimster, if caffeine is causing you to touch people and you are aware of it, then you need to never have it. Become allergic to it and stay far, far away.

I have an above average caffeine intake. It has never caused me to behave in an inappropriate manner. At least not that I am aware of.....

Boy are you lucky. Too much makes me a mess. Talking too fast, pacing, cannot think clearly, then crash and headache. Never made me touch anyone though. :what:

I guess the judge was not persuaded-he received 30 days per count.
