OK the guy was dumb to do this, but why did the reporter decide to stand on the road 3 feet from the runners? I've seen reporters at marathons before and they are always several feet off to the side, she was nearly in their path. You have a bunch of excited male runners and a cute girl within arms reach. I'd say there was bad judgement on both sides.

yeah- and the girl in the short dress was asking to get raped........
Way to blame the person who assaulted- not the one doing the assault.
Do I think this guy should go to prison for this? No. But there was not 'bad judgement' on both sides- there was a guy who thought he could get away with slapping a woman's ass.
