The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently settled a lawsuit against a franchise that operates seven McDonald’s restaurants. The lawsuit alleged that the company subjected a teenage employee to sexual harassment. The EEOC’s lawsuit asserted that one of the company’s managers sexually harassed a 16 year old employee. The EEOC claimed that the teenage employee endured sexual comments, sexual requests, and that a supervisor offered her money in exchange for naked pictures of herself. The Complaint further alleged that the harassment eventually reached a point where the supervisor sexually assaulted the employee. The alleged conduct is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. See EEOC v. Par Ventures, Inc. d/b/a McDonald’s, No. 5:19-cv-00341 (E.D.N.C.).
