I was in middle school, I think, and I was with some friends hanging out at a park. I had trouble climbing the fence and my friends tried to encourage me to do it without help. An elderly man came by and tried to “help” me over but also groped my ass for way too long. I felt ashamed for more than that reason and grossed out. My friends at the time thought it was funny.
