He was charged with one count of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child between 12 and 15 years old, and one count of simple battery.

Chartrand's lawyer claimed that Chartrand was merely looking at their lanyards containing lapel trading pins.

In October 2006 at Disneyland Paris, amateur video was filmed showing Disney employees backstage, pantomiming various indecent acts while they were wearing their character costumes. The video clip was later posted on various video-sharing websites often using the term "mouse orgy." In an official statement, Disney said "The video was taken in the backstage area not accessible to guests. Appropriate action has been taken to deal with the cast members involved."
