A supervisor at a Pennsylvania Halloween attraction has been charged with sexually assaulting an employee as part of a pattern of alleged assaults targeting three females, including a 12-year-old child, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Multiple victims across Bucks County
Edward Eisenhard, 38, faces multiple sexual assault charges involving victims aged 12 to 38 in Bucks County, according to District Attorney Joe Khan. The charges stem from three separate incidents in Lower Southampton, Hilltown, and Springfield townships.
Workplace assault at haunted house
Eisenhard, who worked at the Valley of Fear attraction in Lower Southampton Township for about 10 seasons, allegedly grabbed, restrained, and indecently touched a female employee during a break on September 25. He held her against her will until his break ended, according to a criminal complaint.
Previous charges at Five Below store
Eisenhard was initially arrested on October 1 for an alleged September 27 assault of a 19-year-old coworker in a stockroom at a Five Below store in Hilltown Township. Investigators obtained a recorded phone confession from Eisenhard regarding that incident.
Assault of 12-year-old girl
Court documents also allege Eisenhard sexually assaulted and molested a 12-year-old girl in Springfield Township, using his personal relationship with the child’s family to enter her bedroom while she slept.
Prosecutors seek no bail
Eisenhard remains in custody after failing to post bail. Prosecutors plan to ask a judge to remand him without bail, arguing his release would pose a danger to the community. Khan urged anyone with knowledge of further misconduct to contact the district attorney’s office.
