YEAR IN JAIL FOR WAITRESS BUM SLAP

- By WENDY THOMAS news@sundayspor­t.co.uk

A 65-YEAR-OLD man is facing up to a year in prison after he slapped a waitress on the bottom in a restaurant.

Clarence H Locke Jr. and his wife had just sat down at a booth in the restaurant when his wife got up to use the bathroom.

Waitress Jayme Adair, 23, has described how she had taken a drinks order from Locke when he leaned out of the booth and smacked her bum.

He was charged the same day with forcible touching, punishable with up to a year in jail or three years’ probation.

Ms Adair, of Rome, New York, said: “I was in shock. I’ve never had anything like that happen before.

“The customer and his wife came in together. I didn’t recognise him by his face but when he walked in he said ‘Hello Jayme’.

“His wife went to the restroom and I went over and got the couple’s drinks.

“As I went over to take his order, he reached as far as he could to reach me and smack my butt pretty hard.

“I froze up. It was degrading and embarrassi­ng, and completely out of the blue.

“I got super upset about it. I just told my manager to get him out and get him away from me, then the cops came and got him arrested.

“So many women go through this and it is not fair.

“I did nothing wrong and I did not deserve that.”
