New York Man Groped Two Women At Aurora Haunted House: Police

(CBS) – Things got scary for two women working at an Aurora haunted house over the weekend when a patron groped them while he was inside the attraction.

Ameet Kumar, 30, of Hicksville, N.Y. was charged with two counts of battery under Aurora ordinances, according to police department spokesman Dan Ferrelli.

Police say they responded around 7:30 p.m. Sunday to a haunted house amusement on West New York Street after two female employees said they had been inappropriately touched.

Officers determined at the scene that Kumar allegedly groped a 20-year-old employee's buttocks while they were in the haunted house. He also allegedly grabbed a 40-year-old woman in the chest as he was exiting the attraction, and security detained him until police arrived.

Kumar was told to appear in court on Nov. 10, Ferrelli said.
