I hate people like this, who abuse the characters (and the CMs too).

[jane2073]

The characters have to put up with so much.

Glad to hear that he got some punishment for his deeds....Hope this doesn't lead to stricter controls on the character meet and greets

EDIT: Oh nvm just looked it up. Wasn't sure what groping meant. It kind of sounded like something worse.

[aashee]

Just to clarify - groping means humping yes?

Not really. Grabbing inappropriately.

[Coheteboy]

Can you blame him? She's dressed like a whore.


(just a joke, people)

Probably lucky it wasn't Donald. Dude isn't even wearing pants!

Grandfather found guilty of groping Minnie Mouse on family holiday to Disney World




A grandfather has been found guilty of indecently assaulting a woman dressed up as Minnie Mouse during a family trip to Disney World.
The 60-year-old holidaymaker squeezed the cartoon character's bottom and grabbed her breasts as she posed with him in front of Magic Kingdom's Toon Town.

Inside Minnie's traditional polka-dot dress was Brittney Duncan McGoldrick, who told Orange County Court she was horrified by the attack.

John William Moyer, from Pennsylvania, gave a 'creepy laugh' as he fondled her private parts on June 7, the court heard.

Ms McGoldrick fought the tears as she described the attack.
'I was doing everything I could to get his hands off my breasts. So, I did everything I could and pushed them down,' she said.
McGoldrick lodged a complaint immediately.
A judge convicted Moyer of misdemeanour battery today, according to the Orlando Sentinel. He now faces a maximum jail sentence of one year in jail and a £750 fine.
Moyer has to write a letter of apology to the victim. He also is under supervised probation for 180 days, must complete 50 hours of community service within four months, and submit to a mental evaluation with treatment, if necessary.
During sentencing, Moyer's adult son spoke on his behalf. 'He's a good man,' Emory Moyer said. 'He's a nice guy.'
Later, Moyer spoke briefly to the judge. 'I am innocent, I am not guilty of the crimes that I've been charged with,' Moyer said.

Moyer has no criminal history and has never received a speeding ticket, he said. This was his first offence.
It is not the first time a Disney character has been at the centre of a groping investigation.
In 2004, a British man who played Tigger at the theme park was accused of fondling a 13-year-old girl while in costume.

A jury found Michael Chartrand not guilty and Disney welcomed him back to work, but he has since returned home to England.



This is not the first time Minnie Mouse has been violated:

OMG that guy is holding TIGGER'S HEAD in the 2nd video! At the 2:43 mark! AHHH!

As for this man, his behaviour was very aggressive and very questionable. If a family member of mine did that on our trip I'd be questioning their motives about why they would do that to a character in the park.

[Goover]

HAHAHAHA Omg. I love family guy.

[disneyfann121]

I know Minnie is a babe, but still...

That scared me for life

[10/6]

I'm not in defence of the man what-so-ever but what an awful punishment, being band from every Disney Park... wow, LOL!

[JIrish780]

That poor cast member performing as Minnie. I don't even want to think of how angry I'd be if that was a member of my family that happened to.
