Fonzie the Clown has been charged with sexually abusing an employee. The well-known kids' character, whose real name is Alphonso Pittman, was arrested at his clown offices in Northwest Washington.

According to 9 News reporter Bruce Leshan, the charge is a misdemeanor and the allegation is that Pittman, 44, inappropriately touched an employe, who is an adult. Court records show that Pittman has been charged several times child sex abuse and sexual assault, but he's been acquitted each time.

On his website, Pittman says he's been clowning professionally since 1980 and trained with Ringling Brothers and Barnum, Bailey Circus in 1981.

He says he holds bachelors and master's degrees in mental health and counseling and is currently studying child psychology at George Washington University. He also taught in DC public schools from 1983 to 1989.
Ironically, he writes that he's been called to lecture about motivation and positive work relationships.
