A man has been charged for allegedly groping Sarah Hyland’s breast.
The ‘Modern Family’ actress fled a party in tears in Sydney, Australia on Thursday (20.02.14), after accusing the 29-year-old fan of touching her inappropriately.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that following an investigation, the male, who was arrested at the bash, has now been charged with assault with an act of indecency.
The 23-year-old actress, who plays Haley Dunphy in the comedy series, is currently in Australia shooting a special holiday episode of the show and attended the party hosted by Qantas at The Sebel Pier One in Sydney, with her boyfriend, Matt Prokop.
The brunette beauty pushed the man away and screamed, ‘Don’t touch me there,’ before security intervened and police were called to the scene.
Shortly after the incident, Sarah wrote on Twitter: "Sorry to all the fans outside the #qantas event that I didn’t get to say hi to but I had to leave due to an inappropriate touch of a fan."
Her actor boyfriend also tweeted: "To the a**hole who assaulted Sarah tonight I hope to God you don’t see next week.
"All Sarah wanted to do tonight was say hi to the girls who were waiting outside one douche can ruin it for everyone. Goodnight."
