Mexican Mayor Grilled for Lifting Girls Dress While Dancing at Birthday Bash
A mayor in Mexico has found himself in hot water after videos emerged of him lifting a young woman's dress and exposing her underwear in front of thousands of people. During his lavish 44th birthday party on Mexico's Pacific coast on Saturday, San Blas Mayor Hilario Ramrez Villanueva chose to momentarily disrobe the woman in front of 50,000 revelers. He also drew criticism for the event's costs, which reportedly neared 100,000. "When one is happy, and the women are happy, one doesn't calculate. It's not an excuse, but I do ask for forgiveness from my friend Rosita," Ramrez Villanueva told Mexican television. Ramrez Villanueva is no stranger to controversy, having confessed to pilfering "a little bit" of public funds in 2014. However, he later called that incident nothing more than a party joke "If I were a thief, I wouldn't have been elected mayor twice," he said. AFP
