Clarence H. Locke's appalling behaviour saw him arrested and charged
Ms Adair, of Rome, New York, said: 'I was in shock. I have never had anything like that happen to me before.
'The customer and his wife came in together. I didn't recognize him by his face but when he walked in he said, "Hello Jayme."
'His wife went to the restroom and I went over and got the couple's drinks.
'As I went over to take his order he reached as far as he could just to reach me and smack my butt pretty hard.
'I froze up. It was degrading and embarrassing, and completely out of the blue.
'I got super upset about it. I just told my manager to get him out and get him away from me, then the cops came and got him arrested.
'So many women go through this and it is not fair. I did nothing wrong and I did not deserve that.'

Arrested: As the incident was caught on tape, it took police less than two hours to track down and arrest Locke, who was charge on the same day
Ms Adair, who is dating 25-year-old artist Joseph Wright added: 'It bothered me because I have been in a relationship since I was in high school and I have never had a guy do something like that to me.
'One of my co-workers said, I'm so happy you are sticking up for yourself because the same thing has happened to me a few times.

#MeToo: Ms Adair, pictured with her partner, has been praised for reporting Locke
'I have had comments before but they were not vulgar like that.
'I want to make sure he is actually punished because it is not something minor to me - it bothers me.'
Detective Jeffrey Lanigan of Rome Police Department said: 'The subject was at the Denny's restaurant - he is a regular there.
'The waitress went over to take his drinks order and she turned around to walk away and he reached out and slapped her on the butt.
'We identified the subject using video surveillance and took him to custody..'
Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara told local channel WKTV: 'Working women are sick and tired of being subjected to this kind of abuse.
'Why someone would think that the could touch these people like that defies logic.'
Denny's has been approached for a comment.
