Man, 60, convicted of groping Minnie Mouse
Ben Bailey12.08.09
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 Tuesday of misdemeanor battery and sentenced to write the victim an apology, serve 180 days probation and complete 50 hours of community service. Moyer must also pay $1,000 in court costs and possibly undergo a mental evaluation.
The victim says she had to do everything possible to keep Moyer's hands off her breasts.

Although this is sort of amusing, I once worked in a theme park dressed as a mouse and I was always getting groped like this.

He obviously likes a grope, and she Disney!

It was this kind of harassment that forced Noel Edmonds to close Blobbyland. That, and his failure to secure planning permission.

Who ratted on him?

If it wasn't 'Mouse(en)trap- ment', then throw the book at the 'Mouse-o-phile'. He should get a 'Minnie-mum' of a year!
