Batavia Man Charged With Battery After Lifting Female's Skirt

A 28-year-old Batavia man is headed to court after a series of incidents earlier this month, including one in which he lifted a female's skirt, police said.

Geneva police arrested Nathan Bucy on charges of battery insulting/provoking contact and disorderly contact prior to 9:22 a.m. Dec. 10. The incidents in question occurred at a business on the 500 block of South Third Street and “other places than those listed,” according to police.

According to the complaint in the 16th Circuit Court, Bucy “lifted up (the person’s) skirt about five inches above her belt and later placed his hand up her shoulder after being told by (the person) that she does not like physical contact.”

It states further than Bucy “entered a business after being told the business was not yet open, crumpled and dropped a cigarette onto the floor once inside” and made rude remarks to an employee.

Bucy has a court date of Jan. 15 at the Kane County Branch Court, 530 S. Randall Road, St. Charles.
