A groom was led away from his Pennsylvania wedding in handcuffs after allegedly sexually assaulting a teenage waitress and beginning a brawl.

Matthew Aimers, 31, from Willingboro, New Jersey, was arrested on November 25 after reportedly asking a waitress at the reception, held at the Northampton Valley Country Club, if they could “go outside and makeout”, according to an affidavit reviewed by The Philadelphia Inquirer.

After the waitress, whose age and name has not been released, denied Mr Aimers’ request, the groom reportedly told her they could do “whatever” she wanted.

Mr Aimers then allegedly followed the teenage waitress into the women’s bathroom, where he groped her and exposed himself, before offering her $100, according to the affidavit.

The waitress told police the experience left her “shaken".

Northampton Township Police were called to the wedding hours later, when a fight broke out.

According to police reports, when officers arrived, they found Mr Aimers “pushing and punching people”.

The altercation reportedly started after Aimers punched an employee who’d attempted to stop the groom from bringing alcohol outside.

When police attempted to restrain Mr Aimers, he allegedly tried to board a shuttle bus - at which point officers demanded he leave.

According to authorities, Mr Aimers refused to comply at first and began calling officers derogatory names, before he was eventually removed from the bus and taken into custody.
