• Aman Bhatia, 27, was charged with battery and lewd molestation in July after allegedly groping six women at Disney World's Typhoon Lagoon water park.

Bundy (who signs court documents "i; ryan c., man") said for that sum, he would act as "defendant" -- or, as a bonus, if the judge prefers, as "bailiff," or even as "judge."
