36-year old Michael Chartrand (right), who dressed in a big Tigger suit and hugged visitors at Florida’s Magic Kingdom, has been cleared of sexually molesting a 13-year-old girl – fondling her breast with his orange paw whilst posing for a photo.

Chartrand is set to make a return to the Kingdom, but will probably switch to Goofy, Captain Hook, or Governor Ratcliffe from Pocahontas. He says the memories of playing Tigger are now besmirched by the accusations – a shame, since Chartrand’s Tigger bounce was one of the most impressive at the resort.

Kingdom’s European cousin, EuroDisney, has long had a reputation for pushing its child entertainers, earning it the nickname Mouse-witz.
