Former Latino American Idol finalist Mario Vazquez is being accused of having is pants down in his gallery.

Former “American Idol” finalist Mario Vasquez is facing accusations that he tried to masturbate in front of a male employee in a bathroom on the set of the hit show in February 2005. Shortly thereafter, Vasquez mysteriously dropped out of “Idol,” citing personal reasons.

Well having your penis in your hands is pretty damn personal so he was kind of telling the truth.

I have never really followed American Idol, except to watch those episodes where they show all the horrible auditions, so I know little about Mario Vazquez or his singing talent. But his singing talent isn’t what got him into trouble. The lawsuit, filed by Magdaleno Olmos, assistant accountant for Fremantle Media, the company that produces American Idol, allege some pretty heavy not so wholesome activity.

The lawsuit alleges that Vazquez “started to rub his genitals over his pants. Attempting to leave the bathroom, Olmos opened the door of the stall and saw Vazquez standing in front of him with his pants down masturbating.” According to the documents, Vazquez pushed Olmos “further into the stall and continued masturbating with one hand and trying to pull down Olmos’ pants with another hand.” Olmos claims that he tried to “cover his body with his hands” but Vazquez touched his “chest and stomach underneath his shirt, and Olmos’ “genitals” as Vazquez “attempted to unzip” Olmos’ pants.
Vazquez then allegedly asked Olmos “if he wanted oral sex.”
In the lawsuit, Olmos claims that as he “managed to get out of the stall, and attempted to leave the bathroom,” Vazquez, grabbed his arm “in an effort to stop him.” Vazquez continued to call Olmos to come back as Vazquez “stood in the bathroom with his pants still down.”

Where I come from that’s not mere sexual harassment but attempted rape.
