Turns out, Sam Pepper’s three-part video series, charmingly titled 'Fake Hand Ass Pinch Prank', wasn’t an attempt for him and a female actress to 'indecently assault' as many random people in the street as possible, as his critics on Twitter asserted. They were actors. And the entire thing, he says in a third clip, was merely a gender reversal concept, misguidedly designed to shine a light on male victims of sexual harassment and domestic violence. "I wanted to do something that would highlight the difference between abuse towards a woman and abuse towards a man in a social experiment, with you [the viewer] as unwitting participants at the heart of the experiment," he says in Part 3. He made the decision to make the video series he said, after he admitted “feeling uncomfortable” when female fans pinch his bottom. "We protect women as we rightly should and again I don't want to downplay that side of things but again we have to remember that men have the right not to assaulted or touched inappropriately. "It's wrong and we should see any attack on another human, whether physical or verbal as an issue to be fought. "
