Two managers of a Long John Silver’s restaurant in Illinois sexually harassed one of their teenage employees, then retaliated against her when she said no, federal officials say.

In a federal lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the two adult men were accused of making “lewd comments” toward the girl, touching her without consent, proposing sex and sending “sexually explicit text messages and videos.”

Now the fast food company has agreed to pay the former Centralia employee $200,000 as part of settling the federal lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed June 25, after officials say Long John Silver’s refused any pre-litigation settle­ment as part of a conciliation process.
