This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

D was a teacher at Ferndale High School, and the victims were students. The victims testified that D pinched their buttocks while they were on the premises of Ferndale High School. D contends that pinching the victims' buttocks is insufficient to satisfy the requirement that force or coercion be used to accomplish sexual contact. The circuit court denied D's motion to quash. It held that as a matter of law, D's conduct satisfied the force requirement of MCL 750.520e(1)(a); MSA 28.788(5)(1)(a). D appealed.
