NEWS: Kings Dominion Employee Arrested

[KDFAN]

HANOVER - A Kings Dominion worker has been arrested after being accused of inappropriately touching a child.

 

21-year-old Dong Wang is charged with aggravated sexual battery in connection with the incident, which happened several weeks ago at the theme park.

 

Investigators tell CBS 6 they charged Wang after receiving a call from a Tennessee man who claimed his 8-year-old was inappropriately touched. It's unclear what exactly happened, but Wang's lawyer, Steve Coleman, says surveillance video shows his client lifting the child up onto a rail to help him play a game. Coleman tells CBS 6 the video also shows the 8-year-old kissing Wang on the cheek.

 

Coleman says he believes the charge Wang is facing is too severe. He is working with the Commonwealth's Attorney's office to try and get the charge reduced.

 

Wang, who is a foreign exchange student from China, is currently being held at the Pamunkey Regional Jail.

 

CBS 6 reached out to Kings Dominion for a comment, but a park spokesman referred us to Hanover Commonwealth's Attorney Tripp Chalkley. When we went to Chalkey's office Wednesday, we were told he was not immediately available for comment.

I think they are being too harsh then, although I have no idea if that is a custom for chinese people so I have no room to talk.

The kid kissed him and he's charged with inappropriate touching? Did I miss something?

I wouldn't go near any English speaking country with a name like that.

"Dong Wang?" Really... That one is just too easy.

Even though other people have already commented on it, how in the world could this have happened to someone named Dong Wang? That's just cruel.....

I think I missed something, was the inappropriate part when he lift the kid on to the rail to play the game?
