The 36 year-old man, named only as “Joseph” in reports of the original incident, and as “Joseph Aron,” in today’s Chinese language media reports, allegedly showed up at the courthouse at around 8:40am to face a court hearing at 9:10am.

According to reports including China Times, Joseph first smiled lasciviously at a female court bailiff, behind a counter with a glass window. He reportedly leaned over the counter and leered at her while giggling. When the bailiff called for help, Joseph left.

Joseph then proceeded to a Post Office counter, where he pressed his body against a female customer, touched her shoulder, and said, “Good morning, nice to meet you, I’m Tom.”

When the woman, named Zhang, did not respond, Joseph went to an entrance where a female police officer was checking people entering the courthouse at an X-ray machine. Joseph touched the woman’s buttocks, and then ran up to the second floor of the court building.

On the second floor, Joseph then touched the buttocks of a woman described as a recently graduated university student who was acting as an interpreter at the courthouse. Joseph was then arrested.
