Charles Krom told police he just couldn't believe what was happening.

"He couldn't believe officers were arresting him for this, especially when he is the one that is usually protecting the girls from that kind of thing when he is working as a bouncer," according to the criminal complaint.

Krom, 33, 2895 Petersen Lane S.E., has been charged with gross misdemeanor fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly touching a woman inappropiately at a bar in downtown Rochester.

Krom wasn't working as a bouncer Sunday when police were called to Kathy's Pub about 1:55 a.m. for a sexual assault. He was identified as the suspect and told police he was at the bar to drink and have a good time.

The complaint says Krom admitted that he walked up behind a woman he thought he knew, reached around her from behind and grabbed her breasts. He said he realized it wasn't the woman he knew and apologized. The victim and a witness called police.

Krom was arraigned Monday in Olmsted District Court. Judge Joseph Wieners set unconditional bail at $5,000 or said he could be released on his own recognizance with conditions. He is to have no contact with the victim or witnesses. He returns to court Jan. 26.
