The father of a 13-year-old Colorado Springs middle-schooler who was recently arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting female classmates says his son was falsely accused out of revenge after the boy was termed a “racist” for using a black cartoon character Bitmoji on messaging app Snapchat.

Keith Bailey was accused of unwanted sexual touching and harassment from numerous female classmates, one of whom is seeking a restraining order against him. The filed restraining order complaint from a 13-year-old classmate alleges Keith “was aggressively grabbing my boobs and butt” at a park this summer and was “aggressively petting” her in a church van after she asked him to stop, says a report from the Colorado-Springs Gazette.
