> A man who bit a child while wearing a gorilla suit has been found guilty of assault after a jury rejected his claim that it was accidental.
> 
> Waiter Brett Bennett put on the Gorilla ‘onesie’ and was playing an animal game with the 18-month-old baby when he bit the boy on the cheek.
> 
> Bennett donned his bizarre outfit to entertain the baby and claimed he was pretending to nibble his ear when the child moved suddenly and his teeth slipped onto his face.
> 
> Bennett said he was visiting the mother of the child and was trying to cheer him up because he was whingeing and grumpy after waking from a sleep.
