News from Yankee Country: Store manager slips and tongue just happens to land on employee's lips

This grocer in Oswego pawed 10 employees.

In granting the exclusive interview, Allen Manwaring said he wanted to explain to the public what took place after all the media attention resulting from the trial. Manwaring told Kenyon the allegations of lewd an inappropriate behavior were "total fabrications." When Kenyon pointed out that 13 women testified about him under oath, Manwaring replied, "I'm going to tell you again, total fabrications. And when you have the opportunity to walk away with awards like these women did...come on."



When Kenyon brought up an incident two years ago in which Manwaring pleaded guilty to forcibly putting his tongue into the mouth of a 17 year old clerk, Manwaring claimed "the tongue never entered her mouth...She was sitting on a lower bench, I was joking she was on the phone with her boyfriend...(as he gestured with his tongue) mmmmm...and I slipped and my tongue touched the bottom of her lip. Horrifying situation, Wrong? Absolutely."
