## Resource

A judge denied extending a restraining order against Brockton Mayor Moises Rodrigues after a teen student accused him of inappropriate waist contact during a parade, ruling the incident fell short of legal standards for sex-related offenses—but warned him to avoid further contact and cooperate with the investigation. The student testified she felt uncomfortable, and a witness described the mayor’s touch as inappropriate. Despite the order, the mayor attended a graduation where the student’s mother confronted him, leading to her removal by officers. The mayor admitted placing his hand on her waist, expressed regret, and said he didn’t recall specifics due to the crowd. He defended some forms of physical contact as acceptable, while attorneys clashed over whether the incident met legal thresholds for harassment prevention. The judge ultimately sided with the mayor, citing insufficient evidence of cruelty or hostility. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
