Burger King Employee Sexually Assaulted Teen Girls: Chesco DA

SPRING CITY, PA — A Spring City man and Burger King employee sexually abused two underaged teenage girls who worked with him, the Chester County District Attorney's Office said.

Anthony Burns, 37, worked at the location on 363 Schuylkill Road in East Pikeland Township. The DA's office said he "used his status" as an employee at Burger King to groom the girls.

"Our teenagers should be able to participate in work related activities without the fear of being subjected to this kind of despicable behavior," DA Christopher L. de Barrena-Sarobe said in statement.

Both girls were under 16.

The first girl was victimized between Dec. 2023 and Feb. 2024, officials said.

Twice, Burns snuck into the teen's home, climbing through her bedroom window before sexually assaulting her, according to police.

Burns sent the second girl sexually explicit text messages more than a month, leading up to him groping her as she stood up from a booth inside the Burger King, officials said.

Burns waived his preliminary hearing. Cash bail was set of $150,000.
