They say just before midnight the girl was out with two of her friends when she was approached by a nearly 4-foot robot from behind.  Police say the robot touched the girl’s buttocks and performed thrusting movements against her while the 16-year-old owner of the robot and his 19-year-old friend took video of the whole thing, streaming it on social media.  Police responded a short time later and found the robot in the truck of a vehicle belonging to one of the teens.  Big picture view: At this time, the boys have not been changed, but are considered suspects.
