Thrown Fluids and Legal Gray Areas | Portland Maine News
Description
In Portland, Maine, a nurse says a man threw bodily fluids—possibly semen—at her near Back Cove on July 22, after allegedly following her from a truck. She collected the substance herself since police didn’t secure it, then confronted him before calling authorities. The suspect, 22-year-old Theo Orestis from Falmouth, was issued a summons for assault but denies everything, claiming he was just grabbing pizza and even passed a private polygraph. The DA notes a legal gray area: current state law requires physical contact for sexual assault, and since the substance was thrown, it may not meet the criteria—yet the case moves forward.
