60 Year Old Man Found Guilty for Groping Minnie Mouse

Posted on 11 August 2009

A 60 year old grandfather was found guilty of groping a woman while she was dressed as Minnie Mouse at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

John Moyer was sentenced to 180 days of probation, 50 hours of community service, a $1,000 fine, he must undergo a mental health evaluation and write a letter of apology to the victim.

After he was sentenced, the Grandfather maintained his innocence.

“‘I’m not guilty,’” Moyer told the judge. “‘I haven’t, as the prosecution says, molested or grabbed — maybe unintentionally touched, but that’s as far as it went.’”

“‘Moyer was charged with misdemeanor battery in June after being accused of touching the woman’s chest and buttocks in the Toontown area of the Magic Kingdom.Prosecutors said during the trial that photographs show the Disney cast member pushing Moyer’s hands away from her after he touched her.’”

“‘It doesn’t matter she was grabbed. She’s just a mouse,”‘ prosecutor David Bear said, arguing against the defense. “‘It’s not just a mouse. It’s a person.’”

The woman who was playing Minnie Mouse did not yell at the time of the incident for fear of being fired for being out of character, but she did report the incident after Moyer left the area.
