Orlando, Fla. _ A Walt Disney World employee in a Tigger costume was arrested Friday on charges of groping a 13-year-old girl and her mother while posing with them for pictures.

Michael Chartrand, 36, was charged with lewd and lascivious molestation of a child and simple battery and was jailed on $2,500 bail.

A Disney spokeswoman said he was suspended without pay.

Chartrand was accused of fondling the breasts of the girl and her mother at the Magic Kingdom on Feb. 21. The girl and her father reported the incident Feb. 29.

This is nothing new for Disney. Rapes and molestation go on ALL the time there. Disney has its OWN police and they do their best to COVER IT UP. They are usually VERY successful doing this. It's only occasionally that what Disney World has become slips out. Still, people will FLOCK to this *hit hole fantasy. It really is just a fantasy ... in more ways than one.

Thanks. Sorry, yonif.

I didn't do a search. I'm spanking myself briskly for that. :)

There was another thread on this yesterday. It has a lovely mug shot of the accused and everything.

I wonder where that thread went to?

Is this true or are you just planting some seed to get people outraged because you have something against Disney?

[writer33]

I don't know. My didn't show any mugshots though. The articles weren't identical but close.

[writer33]

I'm sure money was involved to create the leak.

Maybe they just got off the Flash Mountain ride.

I wouldn't lie about that. Disney has had problems for YEARS. It's also the most UNSAFE Amusement Park in the U.S..

Want an ISBN for a book on what Disney is really about, internally and the various shenanigans that routinely happen? Keep in mind it's a couple of years old, perhaps five, and things have only worsened. BTW, don't you listen to the news on Disney? Gay Pride Day is coming up in June. Disney again gets distinct honors on being the ONLY Amusement Park that sets aside a day for perversion at a "family" park. Nice, huh.
