“I don’t know how many men are out there now that have had a massage that perhaps occasionally there was a happy ending,” Hardin told the hosts. “Maybe there’s nobody in your listening audience that that ever happened to. I do want to point out, if it has happened, it’s not a crime. OK? Unless you are paying somebody extra or so to give you some type of sexual activity, it’s not a crime. And so at the end of the day, that’s another thing that would affect conduct. Doing something or saying something or being a way that makes you uncomfortable is not a crime. So, we’ve had two grand juries find that, and nobody seems to want to listen.”

For those unfamiliar with, uh, PornHub categories, “happy ending” is a reference to a massage that leads to a sex act and ends in orgasm for the person receiving a massage. It was clearly not the best choice of words for a guy representing someone accused of taking non-consensual sexual liberties during massage sessions, and Buzbee said he plans to take advantage of it in court.

Hardin later apologized.
