COming in late here but I've known about it since it happened.
Everything that's been said here and a seemingly a million other places is hearsay unless it was said by Connie or Harlan.
You're all getting offended for someone who is more than capable of defending herself should the need arise and who may have not been offended at all since Harlan is an old, old friend and apparently this sort of thing has been going on between the two of them for quite some time.
I will say that I personally have been groped, spanked and stroked by friends of both sexes in jest and never found myself offended or defended; I didn't need the latter because the former never occured and was never intended and that's enough for me even if it did occasionally go too far.
I'm going to wait until Connie weighs in on the subject before I, who wasn't there and didn't participate, decide what really happened and how I feel about it.
