Clearwater (FL) Chick-fil-A owner, former church youth leader accused of molesting teen girl

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"The owner of Chick-fil-A in Westfield Countryside Mall in Clearwater, Florida has been charged with molesting a teen girl, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.

Detectives arrested and charged Heather Matuszek, 32, of Dunedin, with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious molestation. They say Matuszek has admitted to two occasions of the alleged abuse, which the victim said happened in 2014 when Matuszek was a youth leader at Clearwater Community Church."

The incidents happened outside of the church setting, investigators said, adding contact between leaders and youths outside of the church is not uncommon.

According to her victim, who was 15 years old at the time, Matuszek, then 28, slept in the victim’s bed two separate nights."

4. Of course

If you’re a predator what better job than a youth pastor?

All you have to do is declare yourself a Christian, and they will trust you implicitly.

5. Those franchises, esp. in a mall environment, always seem staffed with religious high-school kids.

.

The age of the victims & their influence with their church and its leaders, might allow this activity to flourish.

13. It's exploitation of indoctrinated youth, in bed and out. . . . nt

14. How in hell do you know that the kids are religious?

That was my sister’s first job in high school back in the day.

Trust me on this, my pot smoking, hell raising sister was NOT religious. Nor were her trouble-making little co-workers.

16. I knew an owner of one, talk to others in the drive-ins. Most kids are Southern Baptist.

.

Your sister must be the exception, because back in the day, it was really pushed.

And if you go there now, it's the same. Just enough to skirt hiring practices. I don't think you can be a manager without going to their facility for training, and while yes, there are probably a few Non-Baptist managers--most aren't. Now, they all parrot the "My pleasure" phrase whenever you ask anything.

21. Well, I can only speak for my sis and her friends, and that was a long time ago.

Obviously, you know much more about the inner workings of Chick-Fil-A than I do lol.

6. I'm beyond words on this crime.

And they all flock to Chick-fil-A for lunch after church like it's a weekly sacrament......

Right-wing bubble tribalism at its finest.

What's going on in the basements of these Chick-fil-As all over the U.S.?......

[oldsoftie]

8. They dont have basements, unless thats a take off on the "pizza gate" idiocy!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

10. You got it!

..........

17. No lunch after church. Closed on Sunday

No basements. No lunch after church; not open on Sunday.

7. And he wont be a franchise owner for long. I'd bet CFA boots this trash FAST

12. A lesbian Chick-Felch-A owner! Who'd a thunk it, given that Chuck-Fillet-Up is so anti-LGBT. . . nt

[oldsoftie]

18. They actually have many employees throughout the company who are gay.

I think the ownership keeps their personal beliefs apart from the business operations.
I used to do tech work for the company HQ years ago & probably visited 200+ locations. They've been known for having the best employees & customer service among fast food for years.
This woman just lost a guaranteed mulit million dollar retirement!!

15. I grab lunch at this Mall once or twice a week. the chick-fil-a has the longest line always.

I don't dig thier food. I like a pizza place in the food court.

[cwydro]

22. It's hugely popular where I live.

I’m not much for fast food, but my company used to bring in Chick-Fil-A occasionally for lunch.

The times I’ve gone there voluntarily in the past, no matter the line in the drive-thru, you never wait long.

They have excellent customer service. A shame about their LGBTQ stance.
