Bowling Green man accused of groping unhoused man on park bench during house arrest

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (FOX 56) — A Bowling Green man was arrested on Wednesday after another man said he was groped while sleeping on a park bench.

According to court documents, an unhoused man told authorities on Tuesday, May 20, that he was asleep on a park bench when he was “touched inappropriately” by another man.

The Bowling Green Police Department wrote on Facebook on Friday that, based on a description given to officers by the man who was allegedly groped, the suspect was eventually identified as 51-year-old Lucio E. Diaz of Bowling Green.

Officers found Diaz, who was reportedly serving time on house arrest. His ankle monitor data was reviewed and indicated that he was allegedly at the park pavilion the night the man had been touched without consent.

According to an arrest citation, security cameras placed at the park showed Diaz allegedly walking up to the unhoused man on the bench and “grabbing his genital area.”

Diaz reportedly denied any sexual contact with him.
