A No, just him. I didn't play with that.
Q Okay. You fondled him where?
A Probably held him, something like that. But I didn't -- I didn't go into, and I did not masturbate him or doing anything like that.
A Just like that, you know, put around him (indicating).
Q Gave him a hug?
A Yeah, hug. There was nothing the other way around. If he did, he misinterpreted.
