ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) - The Walt Disney World Resort has banned a man from their parks for life after he allegedly groped six people, including teenagers, at their Typhoon Lagoon water park.

One of the victims told Orange County Sheriff's deputies she and 27-year-old Aman Bhatia were in the wave pool Sunday and as the waves crashed over her, she felt his hands all over her body.

Another victim says she was in the wave pool when Bhatia grabbed her waist from behind. She was able to break loose from his grasp, but he grabbed her again.

Four others reported similar incidents to authorities.

Bhatia told officers he had broken his glasses and couldn't see clearly, causing him to unintentionally touch people. He was arrested and faces several charges.
