An autistic woman was allegedly sexually assaulted by a store employee after he told her she could only buy a sex toy if she tried it on him in the back room.
The suspect reportedly began touching her and attempted to penetrate her in a Paris sex shop, according to French newspaper Le Parisien.
The victim rejected the man’s advances and ran out of the store, before reporting the incident to his father and the human resources manager.
The attack would have taken place around 12:30 p.m. on Monday in a sex shop on the Boulevard de Clichy, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.
