There was this big story a few weeks ago on KYW (make sure to watch the video) about a child-molester on the loose in Newark. The story goes that the guy groped the boy before a game. The police were called and an investigation ensued.
Turns out that the father of an opposing team gave the MLB pat on the back, which happens to be a pat on the behind. I am still getting conflicting stories on the context (before the game or after a good play), but it does seem that this is the case of the media, the police and parents getting themselves worked up over nothing. Or perhaps there is just a lot of groping on Sportscenter every night…
