On Friday Night (10/06), just after 11PM, MNPD was called to Nashville Shores (Haunted House Attraction) on a report that a 40 year old man had fondled 4 female employees. Victims state the man, identified as Billy B. James, had come through the haunted attraction twice, once with his 2 nephews and an adult female, and a second time with just his nephews. According to one victim, age 20, he caressed her breasts and grabbed her victim’s crotch and told her “Trump told me to do it”.

A second victim, age 19, says he caressed her breasts and ran his hand down her hair to her breasts again on a second trip through the attraction. He attempted to touch her crotch, but was unable to do so as she was on crutches. A third victim, age 16, reports James grabbed her butt twice and caressed her crotch. He then fondled a 17yo victim, as well.

A Metro officer was working the location as a second job, and took Billy Bruce James into custody. All of the victims positively identified the defendant.

James was charged with 3 counts of ‘Sexual Battery- Without Consent’, Class E Felonies (1 victim had already left the scene and wasn’t yet available for police interview), and released on $9,000 bond via Grumpy’s Bail Bonds, to his Lakeland Dr home in Nashville.

According to a statement given to police, James says he did not fondle anyone and said the most he did was “give the girls a fist bump and a pat on the shoulder because they were doing a good job”. He stated he did not touch anyone in an inappropriate way and added that he respects women and would never treat or talk to them that way.
