Two middle-school students in Oregon are facing possible time in a juvenile jail and could have to register as sex offenders for smacking girls on the rear end at school.
[...]
But the boys, if convicted at an Aug. 20 trial, still face the possibility of some jail time or registering for life as sex offenders.
[...]
They were arrested that day and taken in handcuffs to a juvenile detention facility.Court papers said the boys touched the buttocks of several girls, some
of whom said this made them uncomfortable. The papers also said Cory
touched a girl's breasts.

Whilst I don't condone such behavior, it's perhaps an overreaction to register junior high kids as sex offenders-- it cheapens the whole procedure, as grabbing a girl's bum in middle school is not sexual assault in the same way as child molestation or rape.
