Summary
- Employee fired for alleged indecent exposure and food contamination.
- Images circulated online showing alleged exposure and contamination.
- Restaurant conducted inspections and initiated legal proceedings.
Austin police are investigating serious allegations against a former Buddy's Burger employee, including indecent exposure and alleged food contamination. The investigation began after disturbing images circulated online, purportedly showing the worker exposing himself and contaminating food items with semen. Buddy's Burger confirmed they terminated the employee on September 1st, mid-shift, after another staff member reported indecent exposure.
The restaurant has since conducted comprehensive inspections and sanitization of its inventory, equipment, and entire facility. Despite these measures, it remains unclear if any potentially contaminated food was served to customers. Buddy's Burger stated they have filed a police report and initiated legal proceedings against the former employee.
The company is also reviewing its hiring and security protocols and has indicated they are notifying other local businesses about the former employee's alleged inappropriate conduct elsewhere. Customers have expressed concern, requesting specific work dates to ascertain if they were potentially affected.
