Generations of children have played the game of tag on playgrounds, but one middle school student got in trouble with police for playing a variation of the game. Police in Golden arrested Cole Sharpe, 14, from Bell Middle School after a girl accused him of touching her breasts during a game called "boob tag." "It's just like tag except you, like, poke the breast area," Sharpe told reporters. The teenager was later released while police investigate him on a possible charge of unlawful sexual contact. "I have no tolerance for sex offenses but I don't feel that this is one of them," said Lynn Sharpe, Cole's mother. "I'm fearful that this is going to reflect on him and maybe tag him for the rest of his life." Officials for Jefferson County Schools said they heard about the game and conducted their own investigation."Students were interviewed, the information was passed on to Bell Middle School's resource officer who filed a routine report," said Casey Mahon with the district office. She said something in the report apparently triggered the interest of police. "If this goes to court, then I'm just going to explain that I didn't do anything like this," Sharpe said. Sharpe admitted to playing the game with his friends, but said he didn't play "boob tag" with the girl who made the accusations.
