8:30Now PlayingMinnesota lawmakers have now made grabbing someone's butt clothed OR naked illegal, fixing a seriously stupid exception in the previous law. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Grabbing someone’s buttocks, over the clothes, is not currently against the law in Minnesota.
There’s actually a specific exception that excludes “the intentional touching of the clothing covering the immediate area of the buttocks” from the state’s sexual conduct statutes.
On Wednesday, a state Senate committee unanimously approved getting rid of that exception, which would make grabbing the buttocks in an aggressive or sexual manner an offense of fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct.
That’s the same level of offense for groping other private parts, trying to pull off someone’s undergarments, and masturbating or exposing oneself in front of a child younger than 16. A first offense would be a gross misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and $3,000 fine, if convicted. A second offense could be upped to a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison and a $14,000 fine."
