Starbucks sued over sexual harassment in Orange County

The Seattle PI reports:

A Southern California teenager is suing Starbucks Corp., alleging negligence and sexual harassment after she says she was forced “hundreds of times” into a sexual relationship with a store supervisor who also fondled her and asked for sex while at work.

The case, filed last week in Orange County, Calif., alleges that managers at an Irvine store knew of the “sexual harassment, molestation and abuse and illicit drug and alcohol activity” committed by the supervisor but did nothing to prevent it.
