Woman ‘Groped’ During Disneyland Livestream

A Disneyland photo stop erupted into an angry confrontation when influencer Yoatzi Castro accused a passing man of groping her — an encounter captured during a livestream that ended with his arrest.

Castro was posing with friends in front of the Anaheim park’s castle when the man walked closely behind her. She suddenly turned, struck him in the back and confronted him over what she said was an unwanted grab.

Anaheim police confirmed to the New York Post that officers arrested a man on suspicion of misdemeanor sexual battery after Disneyland security located him. He was cited and released, and the investigation remains open. nypost.com

Castro shared the encounter in a post on her own TikTok account, urging viewers to circulate it.

“PLEASE SHARE!!! HE WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS,” she wrote.

The recording captures the abrupt confrontation as the man continues toward the castle with a woman pushing a stroller. Castro accuses him of touching her inappropriately and challenges his response.

“I’m sorry, I accidentally just…” the man can be heard saying in the footage described by the Post. He also asks, “What are you talking about?”

Castro then turns to park employees for help.

According to Anaheim police spokesman Eric Anderson’s account to the Post, Castro reported that a man had groped her and gave Disneyland security a description. Security personnel found him and contacted police, who interviewed him before making the arrest.

In a follow-up social media message, Castro described how shaken she felt — and why having a recording mattered to her.

“I just felt so insanely violated, and I am honestly so grateful that we were streaming, because if we weren’t streaming, I feel like I would’ve had no evidence, but we had the video,” she said.

The footage documents the confrontation, but the allegation of deliberate sexual touching remains under investigation. An arrest does not establish guilt.

His release also does not mean the allegation has been dismissed. California courts explain that officers may issue a citation and release someone with a future court appearance, rather than keep that person in custody. Prosecutors separately decide whether to file criminal charges. Monterey

California’s sexual battery law covers certain unwanted touching through clothing, as well as direct contact. For the misdemeanor offense, prosecutors must establish that the touching was against the person’s will and done for sexual arousal, gratification or abuse. The statute includes the buttocks among the body parts it protects. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov

That distinction matters here: investigators must assess the circumstances and intent behind the alleged contact, alongside the recording and the accounts of those involved.

For Castro, the immediate aftermath was personal.

“Hopefully he learns his lesson and never does something like this again,” she said.

Police have confirmed an arrest. Whether the allegation leads to prosecution remains unresolved.
