A woman from Texas told police that a urinating toy sexually assaulted her at a Tennessee restaurant.
Murfreesboro Police officers were dispatched to the Wasabi Japanese Steakhouse on a sexual assault complaint after a woman was sprayed with water by a toy that looks like a man peeing.
James Lassiter, the woman’s husband, told police that the toy had a penis and that he and his wife were upset because the act was done in front of their four children. However, police on the scene found that the fake-pee spraying toy did not come with a penis.
"People are missing the point. This was a sexually-oriented toy meant for adults, in front of minor children,” the Lassiters said in a statement. “We're not trying to make money off of this. If the toy was in a bar, it'd be a different situation, but this was in a family restaurant with 13 to 14-year-olds at the table. If people think it's so funny, why don't people go buy that toy and squirt a cop in the face with it and see what happens.”
Johnny Huang, the manager of the restaurant, told reporters that the toy is a common part of the show to entertain patrons, and control flames on the grill.
“The kids like it,” Huang told WREG. “They think it’s a water gun.”
Police have not filed any charges in the case.
