If he had invisibility, they would have found him in the ladies' locker room. It's all over the net, but I pulled it from the Huffington Post:

Hypnotist Fined For Stealing A Kiss On A Date

SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean hypnotist has been fined for stealing a kiss on a blind date with a woman he thought he had successfully put in a trance, news reports said Thursday.

The 32-year-old man suggested hypnotizing his 27-year-old date during their first meeting arranged by a matchmaking agency in August last year, according to the Dong-a Ilbo newspaper and Yonhap news agency.

The woman was eventually persuaded, and the hypnotist chanted: "Black hole! You will plunge deeper into a trance. You will feel thrilled all over your body and if my hand touches your body, you will feel intense pleasure."

When the man, identified only by his surname, Park, thought his technique had worked, he went to kiss her.

But the woman was fully alert, though her eyes were closed, and she pushed him away. Later, she filed accusations that he had sexually harassed her, the reports said.

The Seoul Central District Court fined Park 3 million won ($2,453), they said.

I believe that Dong-a Ilbo is still illegal in seven states, even between consenting adults.
