The two 13-year-old Oregon boys who were accused of sexual harassment when they acted out a crass, stunt show movie called “Jackass” — which included slapping a few girls buttocks and coppin’ a feel of their breasts — were let off the hook today.

Photos have emerged of the poor, nerdy boys who were probably crapping their pants in worry over a charge that could have ruined their lives. The boys were required to apologize and ante up $250 in damages to the four girls. Charges were dropped because, well, the whole thing was ridiculous.

They were originally charged with felony and misdemeanor sex abuse charges in February. Amid growing public opposition to sending the boys to prison and putting them on a sex offenders’ registry, prosecutors dropped the felony sex abuse charges and added misdemeanor harassment charges, then later dropped all sex abuse charges, leaving only the harassment counts.

The judge dismissed the final charges following negotiations between prosecutors and the defense, and discussions with the four girls about whether they wanted the case dismissed.
