Cops: Man posed as TV show rep to trick teen victim
Walmart Toe Sucker
JULY 13--A man posing as a representative of the Americas Funniest Home Videos TV show tricked an 18-year-old Georgia woman into allowing him to suck her toe inside a Walmart in Georgia, police report.
According to a Columbia County Sheriffs Office report, the teen was shopping Tuesday evening when approached by the middle-aged suspect, who cops have identified as Joey Leaphart, a 43-year-old registered sex offender whose rap sheet is littered with foot-related crimes.
Most recently, Leaphart was arrested in February after approaching a female shopper at a Walmart in South Carolina and asking if he could kiss and smell her feet. Leaphart is pictured in the mug shot at right.
After asking the teen if her toenails were painted, Leaphart said, I know this sounds crazy, but have you ever heard of Americas Funniest Home Videos? When the unemployed woman said she had heard of the show, the man relied that he would pay for her purchases (up to $100) if she agreed to cooperate with a prank.
The teen then reluctantly agreed to Leapharts request to take a picture of her foot. I know this is crazy, Leaphart then said, but can I kiss your foot? Cops reported that the victim agreed under the impression it was a TV prank.
Leaphart then guided the woman behind a clothing rack, saying, Lets move over here so people dont think Im crazy. After dropping to the floor and grabbing the womans ankle, Leaphart noted, Dont worry, I dont bite.
At that point, Leaphart put the womans big toe in his mouth and began sucking on it. The woman, investigators reported, immediately screams at him to stop, and to leave. Leaphart then stood up and, before running from the store, said, Oh, it tasted so good though.
Cops have classified the July 10 incident as a misdemeanor simple battery involving hands/feet/teeth.
