AceShowbiz - August Alsina got a little too touchy with a female fan whom he invited to the stage during his recent concert in Baton Rouge. The R&B singer ended up getting slammed for sexual harassment after a video surfaced online showing him groping the lady while serenading her in front of a large crowd.
In the video taken by someone in the audience, Alsina was performing "Ah Yah" while standing behind the woman, who sat on a stool placed in the middle of the stage. He first massaged her neck and shoulder before moving his hands downward and casually grabbing her left breast. He even tried to touch her other breast, but she quickly covered it with her hand.
