Times Herald-Record Middletown, NY ^ | 1/5/12 | Beth Brelje

A senior official in the Indian Forest Service has been in the United States since July, awaiting a hearing in Pennsylvania's Pike County Court concerning an incident in a Westfall Township, Pa., hotel.

Surendra Prasad Mohapatra, 52, was charged with indecent assault and false imprisonment on July 24 while staying at the Hampton Inn, an Eastern Pike Regional Police report says.

According to the criminal complaint, Mohapatra called the front desk at 10:20 p.m. on July 23 to ask for help connecting his computer to the Internet.

An employee tried to give instructions over the phone but was quickly cut off when Mohapatra insisted, "You just come up here," the victim told police.

She went to his room.

He told her to sit at the desk. She did, and connected the computer to the Internet. Mohapatra asked her name and then asked if he could take a picture of her, according to a statement the victim made to police.

The victim agreed to the photo. Mohapatra took one of her smiling at the desk, and then he sat next to her and took a photo of them together.

The victim told police that Mohapatra put his hand on her breast and at first she thought it was an accident but then he tilted the camera toward her breast.

She stood up to leave and he asked if he could kiss her. She said no.

Mohapatra then grabbed both sides of her face and kissed both sides of her face repeatedly, according to the complaint.

The victim told police that she tried to push him away but he blocked the doorway. Then he grabbed both of her breasts and squeezed them tightly. The victim told police she was scared for her safety because he would not let go.

Probably not a good idea to send a female to the room of a male guest. And vice versa.

Bingo! Liberalism has undermined traditional values in our country, no wonder foreigners think our women are easy. They have been bombarded by Democrats, Hollywood and our media with just that notion.

There’s still no excuse for what that Indian scum did, but he certainly must have thought our culture would accept his lecherous behavior.

Actually, it shouldn’t even stay there. It should be banished from the Earth. (Did you read the article? It’s scary.) I just wanted to point out that blaming America, or even liberals, isn’t always correct.

No, I didn’t read the article. Perhaps I should have, but I just find the whole subject disgusting. The only blame for such repulsive behavior belongs to the cretin who did it. There is no excuse for it.

Try him, convict him, and send him back to India without his boys.
