No. it is not true. However, before thinking about legal action, I would suggest that girlfriend have a relative such as, perhaps, her mother speak sternly to this groping--obscenity mouthing step-dad and give him notice in no uncertain

terms that he must immediately CEASE and DESIST from this

kind of behaviour---or a Sheriff's deputy or other local law

enforcement official may come calling.
