An employee at a Bronx video store broke down in sobs yesterday as she described months of alleged sexual abuse she and her colleagues suffered at the hands of their manager – who kept his job despite being charged with raping one of them.
The six women filed a $20 million suit against the Hollywood Video chain Thursday, claiming they were either fired or transferred when they complained about the abuse.
The woman who spoke out yesterday said manager Charles Cabble, 25, forced her and her colleagues into his office daily and said, “You know what’s going to happen now,” before trying to rip off their clothes.
“Every day, he would ask me which one of the girls he could ‘do’ today,” the 55-year-old worker said.
Cabble is in jail on rape and other charges.
Eric English, a spokesman for Hollywood Video, said he stands by the company’s conduct. Cabble’s lawyer could not be reached for comment.
