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 on Tuesday of misdemeanour battery and sentenced to write the victim an apology, serve 180 days probation and complete 50 hours of community service.

Moyer must also pay US$1,000 (NZ$1505) 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.

I got my bottom 'felt up' (does it still get called that!?) by a disney character at Tokyo Disneyland when I was 16, when he was meant to be giving me a hug for a photo!s The photo show him going in for the not so sneaky feel (and my shocked face!).

You could have been arrested for doing that and subsequently not allowed back into the US again because of a criminal conviction.

OK firstly - you guys are weird, slapping cartoon characters a*ses and what not!

Secondly - far out that's a bit of a harsh penalty for a 60 year old man. Sure he was having a bit of fun, he's old! Old people are weird and scary like that! Perhaps Minnie should put on a longer skirt, cover up her cleavage and then she wouldn't attract so much attention :)

The son said that his father would never inappropriately touch a woman, but Minnie is a mouse!!! So maybe that is why he groped her??

Snoopy. You are a MORON. Another way of saying "good on ya" is by saying "good on ya". Putting your greasy mitts on someone cause YOU think its ok is just idiotic. Get a Grip!

When i was in the US a few years ago, I enjoyed a day at KnotsBerry Farm amusement park. There was a person dressed in a Snoppy outfit so, me being me, gave Snoopy a big slap on the a*s. Snoopy then turned around and I could the person giggling under the suit. I know it may sound a bit sick but I quit often give mascots etc a bit of a slap ... it's just a way of saying "good on ya, love your work!"
