DA: Yogurt store owner put naked employee in box

The owner of a Southern California yogurt shop has been charged with attacking an employee, removing her clothes, binding her with tape and locking her in a box.

Los Angeles County prosecutors say Robert Yachen Lee is accused of attacking the woman Wednesday morning after luring her into an upstairs storage room at the Monterey Park shop. The woman blacked out. When she woke up she was naked, except for an adult diaper, bound with tape with a collar around her neck and lying face down in a box that had been placed in a soundproofed storage room.

The woman managed to free herself and call police.

Lee was charged Friday with kidnapping to commit rape and attempted first-degree murder. He's being held on $10 million bail.

1. There's a headline you don't see everyday...

[Curmudgeoness]

2. Rec to zero. Rec for the $10 million bail.

It is about time the justice system took sexual crimes seriously.

4. This woman is lucky to be alive. I doubt the perp would have let her live

[Initech]

3. What a psycho!

21. If the allegation is true, I'm guessing this isn't the first time he's pulled this

6. What .... The.... Fuck....

[ZombieHorde]

7. Wow. That is really creepy. I hope she is psychologically OK. nt

8. You can't trust yogurt people.

9. I didn't know that KBR made yogurt

Seriously. This sounds exactly like the horrible experience that
the woman who worked for KBR experienced. Even she was put in a box.

Yet, KBR was never held accountable.

[Lance_Boyle]

11. Did you know that the KBR woman made it all up for money?

Did you know that she is likely to end up owing KBR's legal fees as a result of her attempted fraud?

[Eric J in MN]

13. A jury found KBR not liable.

It doesn't follow that the woman invented the whole story.

[LondonReign2]

14. Er, what?

Link to that? Last I recall, KBR wasn't claiming it wasn't true, they were claiming to be immune to prosecution.

[Lance_Boyle]

16. KBR won, and they are suing her to recover their legal fees.

23. The Irish say "And may you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you're dead"

In your case I'd be willing to send him an FYI text.

If you were just a troll it would be easy to just skip over you like all the others, but I'm pretty sure you actually believe the things you say.

[Fumesucker]

18. All business owners are equal...

You know how the rest of it goes..

[MilesColtrane]

10. I'd say that deserves the maximum 20 year penalty.

[LongTomH]

28. I'd say he should never see daylight again!

Weld the cell door shut and lose the key and the cell number!:grr:

15. Is That Yogurt Store Owner One of those Job Creators Republicans Keep Praising?

If Republicans get control of our government, this will no longer even be a crime, and if you think that I am being hyperbolic, please read how Sri Lankan workers are treated in Jordan:

It can happen here folks.

[killbotfactory]

27. He obviously did this because his taxes are too high.

I'm sure gay marriage and healthcare reform somehow contributed.

Appease psychopaths, Vote Republican!

[TeamsterDem]

17. Some people are truly horrific. I hope this woman heals (psychologically). What a terrible thing. nt

19. Yogurt is bad shit. You can't eat culture.

How the hell did she manage to get out?

[Liquorice]

29. That's horrifying. I bet she isn't his first victim. Police should check for missing

women who are in any way connected to him.
