A 15-year-old girl who was pepper sprayed after she punched a man at a Donald Trump rally in Wisconsin should be charged with disorderly conduct, investigators said Thursday.
Video of the incident shows a crowd of people in a parking lot outside the rally in Janesville Tuesday. The girl can be seen holding an anti-Trump sign and arguing with a 59-year-old man.
The video shows the man turning away from the teen with his hands in the air and seconds later, the girl punches him in the face. Another man wearing a red Trump had then pepper-sprayed then and disappeared into the crowed.
The girl told police the first man groped her breast. But Chief David Moore told reporters during a news conference Thursday that additional video doesn't show any evidence the man groped her and that 12 out of 13 witnesses said they didn't see him do anything.
Moore said the man who was assaulted didn’t want to press charges, but investigators have recommended juvenile authorities charge her with disorderly conduct for “an act of violence.”
He said the time passed between the alleged groping and the punching and the man and the girl were several feet apart when she threw the punch.
