Police are looking for a suspect after a teenaged employee was sexually assaulted at a Vernon take-out restaurant. RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk says a man entered Papa Murphy's Pizza Saturday around 1pm, and started speaking to a female staff member in an inappropriate manner. Molendyk told the media, "She told him to leave the business. He followed her to the back of the store. He grabbed her and kissed her when she screamed and ran away from the store." The girl then called a supervisor who contacted police. Molendyk says he's surprised the girl was the only one working in the store at the time. "I'm not a hundred percent what the WorkSafe BC regulations are. I know that for evenings they can't work alone and some of the establishments have different regulations than others."
The man is described as Caucasian, in his late 20's, about 5 foot 8 with a stocky build, clean shaven with black or dark brown hair. He was wearing a blue hoodie with a white logo on the front. Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to call police.
