...The man from Pittsburgh is accused of throwing gator nuggets into Rick's Reef Restaurant – and deputies found more of them in his pants pocket when he was arrested. According to the Rick's Reef Restaurant menu, "gator bites" are pieces of fresh, fried gator.
When staff confronted Lessa, he "became belligerent" and "sexually molested" a manatee statue in the presence of staff and other patrons, the affidavit said.

How can you molest a statue? Maybe you have lewd and lascivious behavior instead?

How one sexually molests a statue is unclear; poor journalism or an ignorant sheriff? Lewd public behavior sounds more likely, though how they could charge anyone of that nowadays, considering what they allow in drag shows for grade schoolers, or homosexual activists in pride parades.

Now we deserve proof of this. Is there a video? I just gotta see that one.

How does one ‘sexually molest’ a statue? (This guy sounds like a drug case.)
I should think that any kind of penetration would be quite difficult unless this statue was specifically designed to be molested. If a rainbow warrior designed the statue, anything is possible.

Also don’t forget In Florida, it’s also against the law to molest alligators.
