UPDATE IN THIS STORY: Maple Grove McDonald's Manager Sentenced

MAPLE GROVE, MN — The manager of a McDonald's in Maple Grove is accused of raping a 14-year-old employee in the restaurant's cooler and several other places. Maple Grove resident Andrew O. Albertorio, 24, faces five counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. He will make his first court appearance Tuesday afternoon.

“These sexual assaults if proven in court reflect deplorable conduct,” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said in a statement.

“A 24-year-old manager abusing his position of authority upon a young girl is wrong. Thankfully, the legislature has made such conduct a serious felony and rightfully so."

According to the criminal complaint, on Jan. 2, Maple Grove police responded to a report of a sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. Her parents told police that their daughter worked at McDonald’s and that her 24-year-old manager had sexually assaulted her on numerous occasions.

The girl began working at the restaurant last summer. She reported that her manager, Albertorio, would often flirt with her at work, according to police.

In November, Albertorio attempted to kiss her, but she pushed him away and said she believed it was wrong because he was so much older than her and he was also her manager, investigators said.

Albertorio discussed having sex with the girl, but she told him she did not want, according to police.

She stated that Albertorio was respectful of this until early December when he cornered her in the cooler at McDonald's, authorities said.

She said she did not want to have sex with him, but felt pressured into the act, according to investigators. Albertorio pulled down her pants and raped her, the complaint states.

Over the course of the next month, Albertorio assaulted the girl in numerous locations, according to authorities.
