A man working as the Easter Bunny at a Pittsburgh, Pa. area shopping mall was fired when it was discovered he is a registered sex offender.

Michael Paul Jacobs spent three days dressed in an Easter Bunny costume, posing for photos with children at a mall in Latrobe.

Jacobs was fired when Pa. State Police discovered that he is listed on an official offender website as a sexually violent predator.

Jacobs claimed he is innocent and that he intends to seek to clear his name, but is unable to afford an attorney to pursue legal action.

The  local manager who does the hiring was suspended pending the completion of the investigation.
