McDonald's Franchisee Settles with Teen Victim for $4.35M in Rape Case
TL;DR
A former McDonald’s employee who was sexually assaulted at age 14 by a manager, a registered sex offender, at her Bethel Park workplace has reached a $4.35 million settlement with the franchisee. The victim's attorney criticized the hiring of a convicted sex offender and announced the settlement, while the franchisee, Rice Enterprises, filed for bankruptcy. The lawsuit alleged that McDonald’s created a sexually hostile work environment and failed to address the harassment. The victim was raped in February 2021, and the settlement was reached to avoid putting a minor child on trial.
