April Magolon vs. Donald Duck

April Magolon vs. Donald Duck


阅读难度:

A Pennsylvania woman who claims Donald Duck groped her at Disney's Epcot theme park can have her day in court, a federal judge has ruled.

Disney must defend itself against April Magolon's claims that the character grabbed her breast as she held her child at the Walt Disney World park and then joked about it.

Magolon, 27, of Upper Darby, claims the May 2008 encounter left her with post-traumatic stress in the form of nightmares, digestive problems and other permanent injuries. ...

美国女子遭“唐老鸭”袭胸 将迪斯尼告上法庭

       宾夕法尼亚州27岁女子埃普丽尔•麦格隆因在佛罗里达州的迪斯尼未来世界主题公园遭遇性骚扰,将迪斯尼公司告上宾夕法尼亚州的法庭。麦格隆称,2008年5月份当她抱着孩子在沃特迪斯尼乐园游玩时,被身穿唐老鸭服装的工作人员摸胸,之后,这名工作人员还就此开起了玩笑。她称,这起事件给她留下创伤后应激症,表现为做噩梦、消化系统问题等。她的诉讼书还指责迪斯尼乐园一贯敷衍涉及员工的投诉,称迪斯尼一直以来都不追究员工的不端行为,总是把谋取利润置于公众安全之上。

       据法院文件称,被告方认为麦格隆状告的迪斯尼企业实体不正确,要求法官要么不受理此案,要么将其转移到事发地——佛罗里达州。但是美国联邦法官约翰•R•帕多瓦给予拒绝,表示麦格隆的案件可以在宾夕法尼亚州受理。帕多瓦在裁决书中写道:“她、她的未婚夫(亦为本案证人)和医治她的医生均在宾夕法尼亚州。”法官认为,迪斯尼在宾夕法尼亚州料理此案的资源要比麦格隆在佛罗里达州料理此案的资源多。

       据麦格隆的诉讼书称,2004年一名13岁的女孩儿及其母被扮成“老虎”的职员骚扰之后,佛罗里达政府部门一周内收到24个相关投诉。其中的一些是可信的,警方亦介入调查。但扮成“老虎”的员工后来被判无罪,因为他的律师在法庭上穿上老虎服做了演示,辩解称被告穿上服装后基本什么也看不到。

       但并不是所有的迪斯尼被告员工都逃脱了惩罚。去年,迪斯尼世界乐园里身着米老鼠服装的60岁宾夕法尼亚男子约翰•威廉姆•莫耶手摸一名女子。受害者称,莫耶肆意摸她的胸部,躲都来不及。弗洛里达法院人定莫耶犯有轻度人身攻击罪,判其缓刑,从事社区服务,并为1000美元的法庭费用理单。
