In the last several months, there have been a number of stories about groping in the news -- and several have had D.C. ties, from the Al Franken scandal to former president George H.W. Bush to the allegations that have followed Trump to the White House.

Past data from various porn platforms has shown that people often search for things that they read in headlines, be it golden showers, fidget spinners, or Meghan Markle. It seems the recent sexual misconduct scandals are no different.

What's more, the term actually saw a decrease in national searches, pegging it as something of a specialty in the D.C. area.
