NBCWashington.com is reporting that Redskins’ DT Albert Haynesworth was indicted on Tuesday for a misdemeanor sexual abuse charge that stems from an incident last February.
In February, Haynesworth was accused of fondling an employee at the W Hotel in Washington.
In the complaint, a waitress said that the incident happened in the hotel’s rooftop lounge, while she was clearing a table.
In court documents the waitress said that her hands were full of glasses when Haynesworth asked to pay his bill using a credit card. According to the court document, Haynesworth asked her if it was OK to slip the credit card into her shirt. She nodded yes, and Haynesworth slipped the credit card down her blouse. The waitress said the football player then grabbed and caressed her breast.
I’m assuming that the waitress meant that he could “slip the credit card” into her shirt pocket, and not down in between her knockers. Either way, this situation could have been avoided had she just said, “Leave it on the table and I’ll be back in a second to pick it up.”
Then again, Haynesworth could have also acted like a human being and not grabbed a woman’s breast at a hotel restaurant. Call me crazy, but I never assume that my waitress’s hooters are also available when I go to Hooters and get a plate of wings. Maybe that’s just me though.
A conviction could result in up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
