Story summary

Edward Eisenhard, 38, is facing multiple charges of sexual assault in Pennsylvania after allegedly targeting three female victims, including a 12-year-old, at different workplaces. On September 25, the opening night of Valley of Fear, a Halloween attraction in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, Eisenhard sexually assaulted an employee while on his break. The incident prompted Valley of Fear to fire him immediately. Following this arrest, investigators discovered additional allegations from both his workplace at Valley of Fear and another job he held as a manager at Five Below in Springfield Township. Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan described Eisenhard as a "highly dangerous recidivistic sex offender" and urged the public to come forward if they have information about other potential victims, indicating investigators strongly believe there are more people affected by his alleged actions.
