PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — Pasco County deputies say they’ve been investigating a woman’s report that she was groped by a “scare actor” at Scream-a geddon in Dade City.
The woman says it happened on Oct. 3rd in one of the interactive parts of scream-a-geddon.
The sheriff’s office says they investigated it as a battery and turned the results over to the state attorney’s office.
10News spoke with Lauren Klink, who says the actor got too close and then started touching her inappropriately. That’s when she says she asked him to stop.
“When he squeezed my butt, that’s when alarm ran through my body and I thought ‘this should not be happening,'” Klink said.
“That’s when I looked and him and said ‘no, I’m good’ because I knew I had to say something,” she explained.
She says after she tried to leave, he pulled her back and touched her again.
