The suit, filed Tuesday in Kane County, names former The Massacre employee Robert Keller and a second actor identified only as John Doe, according to NBC Chicago.

Keller, 23, of Algonquin, was charged with battery and disorderly conduct stemming from the Oct. 11 incident. Police allege that Keller was making inappropriate comments to the pair and “touching them on their body with an object.”

The other employee named in the lawsuit has not been identified by police or charged in connection with the incident.

According to the lawsuit, the mother claims she and her daughter, along with three other minor children, arrived at The Massacre, 299 Montgomery Rd., at around 7:45 p.m. and were approached by the employees before even entering the haunted attraction.

In the suit, the mother claims that Keller had an “adult toy” in his hand and began waving it and poking the teenager with it, according to NBC. The second man, “John Doe,” allegedly had a teddy bear, which had a sex toy attached to it, the suit claims.

The mother claims the two men taunted the family and told them that they “liked it,” NBC reported. She said she and her children got back into their car and left before calling police.

The woman is seeking more than $50,000 in damages from Keller, “John Doe” and Massacre Haunt Inc.

Several days after the incident, Massacre general manager Nic Miele issued a statement saying staff “make every effort to ensure our Halloween experience is as safe and as scary as possible,” adding, “We abide by all regulations, take all allegations of misconduct seriously, and are cooperating with police.”

A rep for the haunted house said Keller was fired after his arrest.
