Anthony Christian of Toano is facing some serious allegations: James City County Police said he inappropriately touched two women at the Williamsburg Premium Outlets Thursday.

Christian, 32, is charged with two counts of sexual battery. Authorities said he was booked in the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail Thursday, but is now free on bond.

What landed the man in jail?

Officers were called to the mall at around 3:45 p.m. Thursday after receiving a call from a woman who claimed a man touched her buttocks when he passed her in Papaya, a clothing store near Aldo at the outlets, said police spokeswoman Stephanie Williams.

Officers found that man, later identified as Christian, in Claire’s. 

There, another man approached officers and said Christian rubbed his genitals against his 16-year-old daughter as he walked by her in the store.
