A prominent Long Island restaurant should be held liable for the “appalling” sexual abuse of three female employees by several male co-workers, Eastern District Judge William F. Kuntz has ruled.
The women, all sisters, worked as hostesses for Ayhan’s Fish Kebab Restaurant, also known as Ayken, starting in June 2005, March 2006, and August 2007. In a suit filed in 2011, Lauren, Ashley, and Gabrielle D’Annunzio alleged that defendant Juan Pablo Orellano, a dishwasher, Jamie Coronel, a co-worker, and Victor Bautista, a deliveryman, slapped their buttocks and made inappropriate comments, and sexual hand and motion gestures.
