Domino’s spokesman Tim McIntyre said in a statement Monday that the company is working with the local franchise owner to provide the victim with anything she needs.

“It is unthinkable that something like this could happen to an innocent woman, simply trying to earn a living,” McIntyre said. “We are grateful for the Antioch Police Department’s swift action and we hope the person who committed this heinous crime is prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
