Orange County Deputies arrest a man on multiple counts of child molestation after grabbing boy's inappropriately in Disney's Pop Century pool. Nicholas Groth, a 26 year old Wisconsin baseball (14U) coach, was staying at the resort over the holiday weekend due his team playing in a tournament. Numerous parents claim they didn't see Groth touch their children, but when confronted, he denied any wrongdoing and responded with "I'm a baseball coach." The arrest report indicates Groth commited the acts while children were playing catch in the resort's pool. They asked him to stop and then told their parents, who then called Groth out. Law enforcement took matters into their own hands by taking the suspect into custody and launching an investigation. He's now in Orange County Jail and is being held on no bond. Remember: These type of things could happen ANYWHERE, just like at Typhoon Lagoon. Whether it's Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, the grocery store or even school. If you SEE something, SAY something.
