According to a yahoo.com article. A group named "Geeks for CONsent", which was founded by 3 women from Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Started an online petition, which garnered 2,600 signatures, in support of Comic Con implementing a formal anti harassment policy!
Some of the attendees told the Geeks for Consent group, that they had been groped, followed around and photographed without their consent during the 4 day festival.
Not only does Comic Con have a Code of Conduct which is available on the internet as well as on the 2 page Events Guide that each attendee receives, David Glanzer, who is a spokesman for Comic-Con told the Los Angeles Times "anyone being made to feel uncomfortable at our show is obviously a concern for us." And he went on to state that additional security was in place this year, including an increased presence by San Diego Police.
The Code of Conduct and increased police presence this year is not enough for the Geeks of CONsent! They want for the staff to be properly trained to handle sexual harassment complaints.

Here is my take on it!
A lot of the men who go to things like this are probably not used to getting attractive women to pay them much attention. Well, that is of course until all of that nerdiness pays of monetarily. Then the same women that ignored them will throw themselves at these geeks feverishly!
But during the time being, these horny young men seeing fit, shapely women dressed up as the comic book characters that they beat it to, is an actual fantasy cum to life! SKEET SKEET SKEET!
Don't get me wrong, I am making no excuses for these guys groping or taking unauthorized pictures or any other lewd behaviors. But ladies! Please recognize what your dealing with here! These are the God's of Nerds! Have some sympathy on these poor young mans hearts, and swollen hands! These men seeing you in those outfits is like a starving village being dropped off at a buffet! They just don't know how to act!
Here's an idea! Why not make a reality TV show where you ladies teach Nerds how to be gentleman? It can be called "From Geek to Chic!" You can give them makeovers, help them with their acne, remove their retainers, get them some contact lenses, and ultimately teach them how to act around attractive women, like yourselves!
