What would you do if you found some
boy taking a shower with your 16-year-old daughter??
Athens-Clarke County Police arrested a 49-year-old man Tuesday on charges of battery and
cruelty to children after they said he caught his daughter’s
boyfriend in the shower with her.
Via 11 Alive reports:
Police responded to a call from
Clinton Antonio Ward, who said he had caught teens inside his apartment.
When officers arrived, they spoke
with Ward outside the apartment, then entered to talk to the teens. Ward’s
16-year-old stepdaughter was showering with her 16-year-old boyfriend when Ward
came home.
Officer said Ward came home and sat
on the couch. He said he heard his daughter talking in the bathroom, and
initially thought she was on the phone. But once he
heard a male’s voice, he
said he listened closer to make certain she wasn’t just speaking to someone on
speaker phone. He then sat back on the couch and waited for them to emerge from
the bathroom.
According to the police report, when
she came out of the shower, she saw Ward sitting on the couch in the living
room. She said she knew she was in trouble. She was wearing a towel, while her
boyfriend was nude.
Officers said Ward began cursing and
yelling at the two of them. As the two retreated to the bedroom, Ward pushed
his stepdaughter out of the way and went after the boy. As the boy tried to
pick up his clothes and belongings, the police report said Ward pushed the boy
up against the wall and punched him in the chest and face. The girl said she
also had a red eye from being hit in the face.
Police said Ward left the room and
called police.
The boy’s mother asked officers to
press charges against Ward for his attack on her son.
Police arrested Ward and charged him
with battery and cruelty to children, both for hitting the boy as well as for
allowing his stepdaughter to witness him punching the boy.
Can you really blame the man??
