Heading: Undisputed Facts Relevant to M.K.

Text: The undisputed facts relevant to M.K. are a virtual repeat of those relevant to D.G. M.K., a twelve-year-old player on the Defendant's little league baseball team, asked his mother if he could go to the Defendant's house to learn the new stretching exercises that the Defendant had previously mentioned to both M.K. and M.K.'s mom. M.K.'s mom agreed, stating that she had to leave to get M.K.'s sister and would return in a short time. M.K. went to the Defendant's house, and was led to the basement area where the Defendant told M.K. to get into a bathtub that the Defendant filled with hot water. Again, the auspices of the bath was to loosen the boy up. While M.K. was in the tub, the Defendant entered the bathroom and watched as M.K. got out of the tub and toweled himself dry. The Defendant then took the towel and told M.K. to go into an outer area of the basement where he then had the boy, while the boy was nude, perform stretching exercises. These exercises included having the boy lay prone and arch his back, andwhile in a standing position having the boy spread his legs apart, bend over and touch his toes. The Defendant sat on his sofa and watched as the boy performed these exercises. At some point, the Defendant got off the sofa and told the boy that he was going to check his height, weight and all the EMT stuff he was supposed to do. The Defendant also told M.K. I've done this to other kids and you shouldn't worry about it. During this EMT procedure, the Defendant grabbed [M.K.'s] testicles and held them for a couple of seconds. After letting go of the boy's testicles, the Defendant then proceeded to grab both cheeks of the boy's bare buttocks and began rubbing them. At this point, a knock on a door could be heard from upstairs. The Defendant initially tried to ignore the knocking, but it became more persistent and M.K.'s mother could be heard asking for M.K. At this point the Defendant instructed M.K. to hurry up and get dressed. M.K. was twelve-years-old at the time.
