Aggressive Pat-Down Not An 8th Amendment Violation

Rhoten v. Werholtz, 2007 WL 1765538 (6/20/07)(unpub'd) - The use of force during a pat-down that consisted of squeezing a prisoner's nipples real hard, squeezing his buttocks and pulling real hard on his testicles was de minimis and therefore not worthy of Eighth Amendment protection.
