APOPKA, Fla. -- A worker at a Wendy's in Apopka says two cooks raped her in the women's bathroom. Both face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
The Wendy's on Executive Park Court in Apopka had just closed down late Friday. Police say the 18-year-old employee was waiting for a lift home, but after she went to change her shirt in the women's bathroom, she says two co-workers raped her.Dyshawn Collins, 23, who appeared before a judge Monday, is one of the two Wendy's cooks accused of raping the girl in the bathroom. But it was his uncle, 26-year-old Orenthal Hughes, who deputies say attacked her first, following her into a bathroom stall, forcing himself on her.Moments after he walked out, the victim says Collins stepped in, used a Wendy's rubber glove for protection, and raped her, too."It sounds like she was brutalized, held against her will, and these things happened to her that she did not want to happen," said Steve Olson, Seminole County Sheriff's Office.One witness told deputies that when she arrived to pick the victim up from work, she looked through the drive-through window and saw Hughes with nothing on but his boxer shorts inside the restaurant. The witness also said Collins had no shirt on. Investigators have a recorded statement from another co-worker who says Hughes bragged he would have sex with the victim that night.Late Monday afternoon, the victim's father contacted Channel 9 and said his daughter had made five or six complaints to a Wendy's manager about being harassed before this happened.Channel 9 tried to get a comment from Wendy's. It would only say it was shocked by the crime and was investigating.
