Court says $32,000 is too much to fondle bosom

HELSINKI (Reuters) - A fee of 25,500 euros ($32,000) is way too much for a woman to charge a man for fondling her bosom, a Finnish district court ruled.

The court jailed a couple in their twenties for more than a year for charging a 74-year-old who suffers from dementia a total of 25,500 euros to enjoy the woman's breasts on 10 occasions.

"Based on general life experience alone, it is indisputably clear that a 25,500 euro charge is disproportionate to the compensation in question," Judge Hasse Hakki, who heard the case, told Reuters Friday.

But he said the court in Kokkola, about 300 miles north of Helsinki, would not decide "the proper financial value of the compensation."

The retiree filed charges against the couple, who were convicted of extortionate overcharging, even though he told the court he paid the price willingly at the time.

How can he say that the price is too high? This is capitalism! People can charge what the market will bear.

I think the real issue is that the man had dementia and may have been tricked, but to say altogether that the price was too high is ridiculous.

Couldn't agree more here.

You cannot legislate prices in any field, however capitalism unbound, is equally disastrous. History has proven, over and over, that both approaches don't work in the long term. There is no substitute for being personally responsible for all decisions one makes. Life does not run on autopilot, in anyone's favor. In other words, if you opt out of the decision-making process you are still responsible for the result.

Assuming this is a mild case of dementia, why else would they still have access to such large funds, what was everyone involved thinking? Clearly not much. If I were the judge, in my humble opinion, the client would not get their money back, and the service provider would be fined an equal amount to what they charged.
