Waffle House CEO (Romney Supporter) accused of sexual improprieties

[onehandle]

(CNN) -- A former personal assistant of Waffle House's CEO accused him of forcing her to "perform sexual services," among other degrading acts, during her nine years of working for him, according to an Atlanta police report.

Police blacked out the woman's name in the report, but gave a graphic account of her accusation, based on an interview that she gave Atlanta police on September 28. CNN obtained a copy of the police report Friday, as news of the allegations against Joseph Rogers Jr. spread around the media.

Efforts Friday by CNN to reach Rogers, whose father co-founded the Georgia-based 24-hour-diner chain were not successful. Similarly, CNN was unable to reach the man believed to be his lawyer.

Atlanta police did not elaborate on to what extent they've been able to verify the woman's claims, with Sgt. Gregory Lyon saying, "I can tell you that this is an open and ongoing investigation."

1. I do believe in innocence until guilt is proven but........

These republics run around claiming the moral high ground, to be "God's" chosen party, etc. and then you find out that so many of them, nearly always old white men, are sexual predators. They can't keep their willies in their pants. It is symptomatic of people who outwardly claim sex is bad except to pro-create but then engage in this kind of behavior.

3. I agree that it's symptomatic of repression and unhealthy attitudes toward sex.

Anybody who talks a lot about "family values" etc. is revealing that they have a preoccupation with sex, probably brought on by unhealthy upbringing. They're brainwashed into thinking that sex is dirty and bad.

19. The Waffle guy could easily buy the best sex anywhere in the world why would he want her?

[valerief]

20. It wasn't about sex. It was about enslavement. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

26. Yep...

rape is always about power.

[xtraxritical]

34. I'm glad I live a sheltered life, and am a Democrat!

[Buzz Clik]

2. People being people. Petraeus anyone? Far, far worse.

[yardwork]

4. Sorry, but sexual assault and sexual harassment are not "people being people."

This IS far worse than a consensual affair.

[Frances]

5. Agree

[yardwork]

7. Did you read the first sentence of the article in the OP?

A former personal assistant of Waffle House's CEO accused him of forcing her to "perform sexual services," among other degrading acts, during her nine years of working for him, according to an Atlanta police report.

[yardwork]

10. You responded to the OP.

[Buzz Clik]

14. I initially backed off my original assertion. But, due to your obsessiveness...

I deleted those replies.

If you want to make a religion out of stalking me, go for it.

[yardwork]

15. .....

[Buzz Clik]

16. Keep it coming.

Your OCD is getting the best of you.

[awoke_in_2003]

27. Hey, you are the one who claimed...

a consensual affair was worse than rape- yes, this is rape. When you make people give you sexual pleasure against their will, it is rape. Calling is sexual assault or harassment is just putting lipstick on a pig.

[Buzz Clik]

29. Bullshit!

I never made that claim. That's to our obsessive pal, I deleted the post where I clarified.

[awoke_in_2003]

30. "People being people. Petraus anyone? Far, far worse"...

Those are your words, not yardwork's,

[Buzz Clik]

32. Yes, dear, and I later clarified that. Those posts are now deleted.

What f***ing part of "I clarified my position" do you not understand?

Are your pretending that you have some ability to read my mind? Well, if that's your thought, you are incorrect.

I CLARIFIED MY POSITION, AND THE MY FIRST POST NO LONGER APPLIES.

Try to pound that notion into your skull.

[awoke_in_2003]

33. You deleted some posts...

yet let the original stand? And no, you did not clarify, you just said you backed off the original post. Now, try to go piss up a rope.

[Buzz Clik]

38. Yeah, yeah. Obsess much?

[HockeyMom]

8. Strictly from a culinary standard,

they are on par with Papa John's and Chik-Fil-A. Interesting, isn't it?

11. I stopped at a Waffle House

once. I left wondering how the hell do they stay in business? It was the worst food and service....and dirty. The customers gave me the evil eye. I got the worst vibe from the place. I ate a few bites and got back on the highway.

I fantasized that the only reason this 'restaurant' remained open was that it was somehow involved in drug and/or human trafficking. Now that I see what the CEO was up to, that damned well may be true.

Every time I see a Waffle House, I tell whom ever is in the car....there's a part of the drug cartel!

I only visit Perkins Pancake House now.

17. I'd put waffle house several notches further down on the scale

Of the three you mentioned, I can think of only one I'd consider a ptomaine refuge.

[adieu]

25. I agree...

I went to a Waffle House once in Richmond VA when I was staying at a hotel kind of far away from where I had to be (for the cheap hotel prices). The Waffle House was the "hotel restaurant" so I went there for breakfast. Gawd awful food and the clientele was about as red-necked as you can be. And because it was VA, there was smoking sections, so that didn't help my enjoyment of the breakfast (had eggs over easy, bacon and hash browns). I didn't know it's possible to make a business case out of greasy-spoon hash houses. Who knew?

39. We love Waffle House in Tampa.

We've been to every Waffle House between Tampa and Orlando and there is only one we won't go back to. The rest have good food (and surprisingly fresh salads), nice staff and "colorful" clientele (especially after 10pm). Maybe the quality is a regional thing?

12. Bill Hicks at the Waffle House

[UpInArms]

13. nasty food - I always called it the "Awful House"

Am glad this woman finally got the courage to come forward

[ThoughtCriminal]

18. We called it the Awful Waffle

At one local Waffle House, the light in the "W" went out. Stayed that way for months.

Some people loved them, but honestly, the only time I would eat there was if the only other alternative was a place called "Eats" and it was closed for health violations.

[SoapBox]

24. Ditto to the Awful...

I found out why eventually.

Grew up in the West and then got to see this side show a couple times...once after drinking (then it was funny) and once sober (NOT funny)...that was enough.

21. I know his wife.

We used to fly to Trade Shows in the Waffle House jet.

She told me she stayed with him because of the 'perks'.

[SweepPicker]

22. Disgusting food

My stomach is in knots even thinking about eating that garbage.

[DollarBillHines]

23. Thankfully, I have never experienced WH cuisine.

The food and wine on the plane was great, though.

[Eleanors38]

35. My stomach doesn't have time!

[aletier_v]

31. " She told me she stayed with him because of the 'perks' "

half-price meals?

[Ian David]

28. Now, THAT'S what I call a sticky situation. n/t

[Eleanors38]

36. Ewww. Good place to de-sole your shoes. nt

[BadGimp]

37. with the waffles???
