Shakes the clown, whose real name is Brandon Goral, 43, is accused of squeezing women’s breasts at a ‘haunted barn’ campground in Janesville, Wisconsin
A clown has been been charged with groping two women at a haunted house attraction in Wisconsin.
Shakes the clown, whose real name is Brandon Goral, 43, is accused of squeezing women’s breasts at a ‘haunted barn’ campground in Janesville.
Police were summoned to the scene following reports that women were ‘touched inappropriately by a clown’ according to The Smoking Gun.
Two women told cops that a ‘clown with green hair’ first approached them and asked, ‘Do you want me to Donald Trump?’ while making ‘a hand gesture towards their vaginas and making a squeezing motion,’ the complaint alleges.
Although the women say they were ‘not touched at that time,’ they were ‘caught off guard by what the clown had said and found it inappropriate.’
The Smoking Gun alleges that following the ‘Trump’ comment, the clown allegedly grabbed and squeezed the breast of one woman, and then did the same thing to her friend.
The alleged assaults took place at a haunted house-themed barn in Wisconsin
The ladies told police that they were left ‘feeling violated and uncomfortable,’ and stressed ‘neither of them gave clown consent to grab her breast’.
During questioning by police, Goral said that he ‘does not touch women’s breasts’ unless requested to do so.’
He claimed that he was ‘asked multiple times by different females to grab their breasts for photos,’ and stressed that he had been asked a number of times that evening.
Goral was asked if he knew that haunted barn personnel were barred from touching customers, he replied he ‘knows not to touch them unless they ask him to’.
He has been charged with two counts of misdemeanor sexual assault and has been freed on a $2,000 bond.
