Detectives are looking into complaints that a woman's boss sexually battered her and fired her when she threatened to tell.

Officers from the Covington Police Department met with a woman and family members at the police department Wednesday afternoon. The female, who spoke very little English and had family members translate for her, told officers that she wanted to report her former employer for sexual battery and terroristic threats.

The woman reportedly told officers that she had worked for one company for seven years and her supervisor was a Vietnamese man. She said he had inappropriately touched her and attempted to coerce her into having sex with him. She told officers that he threatened to "fire her or have her deported if she told anyone about the touching." And on several occasions he would bring a hotel key to work with him and "beg her to go to the room with him."

Everything came to a head when he touched her bottom while she was working and she complined about it on June 29. The woman said he fired her when she made the complaint. She also said that he had refused to give her sick leave pay or the money she earned in the final weeks she worked.

"[She] stated that she had been scared in the past to report the abuse because [he] would bring either a pistol or a rifle with him to work in his vehicle. [She] stated that [he] threatened to hurt her if she told anyone."

She also allegedly told officers that the supervisor had done the same to other women at the company and she wanted to press charges against him.
