Tweet About 'Footsies' Leads To KSU Arrest

KENNESAW, GA — A Kennesaw State University student's tweets about a man "playing footsies" with her against her will on campus has led to the man's arrest, according to police.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the 23-year-old man told investigators he had rubbed the feet of 10-20 women and that he did not know any of them. He is charged with two counts of simple battery, a misdemeanor, according to the AJC.

The man used the term "playing footsies," according to campus officials.

According to campus police, a female student reported a man "touched her on the foot inappropriately with his foot" in Sturgis Library on Aug. 17. She posted a picture of the man's face on Twitter and recounted how he sat right next to her in a nearly empty library.

On Twitter, she then posted a video of what appeared to be the man's bare foot inching closer to her own foot.

KSU Police saw the tweets, the paper reported, and issued a warning to students on social media that included a photo of the man that the female student had posted. On her Twitter thread, another woman claimed he had done the same thing to her last year.

The man bonded out of Cobb County jail on Thursday, the AJC reported.
