Man groped Minnie Mouse at Disney

A 60-year-old man has been convicted of groping a woman in a Minnie Mouse costume at Walt Disney World.
John William Moyer of Cressona, Pennsylvania, told the judge he is innocent. His son said before sentencing that his father would never inappropriately touch a woman, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
He was convicted on Tuesday of misdemeanour battery and sentenced to write the victim an apology, serve 180 days probation and complete 50 hours of community service.
Moyer must also pay $1193 in court costs and possibly undergo a mental evaluation.
The court heard he grabbed the woman's bottom and also her breasts as he was having a photograph taken with her in front of Magic Kingdom's Toon Town.
The victim says she had to do everything possible to keep Moyer's hands off her breasts.

I feel that this is such a significant event that I am honor-bound to get on a plane as soon as possible and head for Orlando to offer Crisis Intervention Counselling to poor Minnie.
