Since when is that a crime? Waitress is a prude. Work them tips, hunny!
Since when is that a crime? The waitress is clearly a prude. Work then tips, hunny!
Wow pressed charges! Not appropiate but it’s a bar people drink! Get a different job!
Agreed!

Relax. Women won’t sleep with you just because you’re trying to act like a knight in shining armor.
I know this man, he is awesome
I know this man, he is awesome
Twin Lakes? Nah?!
This makes me sad I’ve known this man for a long time that young lady had to of given him the wrong impression 😔 this man is actually a very good person
And yet he did something that is “very stupid”.
At 65 years old (I’m 65) men feel entitled to virtually everything in the world. They think that anyone younger should listen to their every word and give them a pass on everything they might do wrong. Yet at the same time, with age comes wisdom. Wisdom to respect others.
He seems to have not learned that lesson.
Also the lesson that his mother may have taught him that you can “look but don’t touch”
Something his wife should have reminded him of.
What’s happened here is that this “Very Good Person” has forgotten that he needs to keep his hands to himself and off other people and not assume that others understand his feelings of “it’s no big deal”.
And to say that the female “gave him the wrong impression” is you thinking that any female “showing her assets” as part of “her job” “accepts” that showing is the same as touching.
If the female employee was dressed “for the job” that still doesn’t give anyone the consent to touch her !
This “creepy old man” deserves these charges and this news site should follow his journey through the legal system to ensure other “creepy old men” see what happens when they don’t keep their hands to themselves.
Some might say, times have changed. And that’s true. Respect of others is not taught and reinforced as it used to be.
Times have changed. But not for the better
Thank You! 🙏
Good men don’t hangout at bars when they’re 65 years of age. Seems to be the standard for Twin Lakes. Either you’re snorting coke at the beach bar or you’re gabbing a young women’s ass at aces. Ha. Either way, it’s a culture!
Who are defending a man who groped a woman are sick. Playing grab ass is not a sport. If you want to grab your wife or girlfriend’s ass in your own home, that’s between you two. But you do not grab a strangers ass in public. You people who are defending this man are as sick as he is.
I’m with you. When in the world does that become okay in this world?
Do it to my wife or daughter and we’re both going to jail.
Sure are a lot of gross pigs defending this jerk. If he did that to me, he’d feel the swift kick to the balls for weeks AND the police would be called. Just because you can’t control your drinking is no excuse. Be a real man.
Simply…a lot of idiots out there!)
