Dishwasher Pleads Guilty To Sexually Assaulting Teen At Bridgeport Restaurant: Report

The man groped the girl at the Vazzy's restaurant in Bridgeport, according to the Connecticut Post.

BRIDGEPORT, CT — A dishwasher at a Bridgeport restaurant pleaded guilty Monday to third-degree sexual assault after he was accused of groping a teenage girl who worked at the business, according to the Connecticut Post.

Jaime Sena, a Mexican citizen who now faces deportation, made his plea Monday and could serve as much as two-and-a-half years behind bars, the Post reported. In December 2019, at the Vazzy’s restaurant on Broadbridge Road, Sena ripped the girl’s shirt, groped her and attempted to give money to the teen, according to the Post.

Jose Tsenkush, a cook at the business and a citizen of Ecuador, is also accused of sexually assaulting the girl, the Post reported. Vazzy’s owner John Vazzano attempted to bribe the teen and was charged, but received accelerated rehabilitation, according to the Post.
