Pair suing haunted house for alleged assault, simulated rape
An Ohio pair's lawsuit alleges they were grabbed, shoved and injured and one was subjected to a simulated rape at a haunted-house attraction where actors were suspended after complaints about such behavior.
AKRON, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio pair's lawsuit alleges they were grabbed, shoved and injured and one was subjected to a simulated rape at a haunted-house attraction where actors were suspended after complaints about such behavior.
Akron Fright Fest was billed as a hands-on experience with "risque scenes" and actors getting physical. Owner Jeremy Caudill has said he was appalled at the alleged behavior that drew complaints from visitors last month.
The Akron man and woman suing Caudill and several Fright Fest employees say they never signed waivers or consented to such treatment. They're seeking $50,000 in damages.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports a spokesman for the park that put on Fright Fest said its management had no immediate comment on the lawsuit and was separately dealing with the death of Caudill's wife.
