Aramark Employee Faces Charges for Attempted Sexual Assault at NRG Stadium
A former employee of Aramark faces serious legal charges after an alarming incident at NRG Stadium in Houston. Ushay Nixon, a 21-year-old restroom attendant, has been charged with attempted sexual assault following an event during a Texans home game on December 14.
Incident at NRG Stadium
According to court documents, the incident occurred when a young boy entered a restroom. Nixon is accused of guiding the child into a stall and attempting to sexually assault him. The quick thinking of the child allowed him to escape the situation.
Quick Response from a Bystander
A bystander witnessed part of the encounter and promptly alerted the child’s parents. The mother recounted the bystander’s urgent concern, noting that he repeatedly expressed unease about what he had observed. This intervention was crucial in bringing the issue to light.
- Victim: Young boy using restroom
- Accused: Ushay Nixon, 21, former Aramark employee
- Location: NRG Stadium, Houston
- Date of incident: December 14
Background of the Accused
During a recent court hearing, it was revealed that Nixon had previously faced similar allegations in two other cases, which were dismissed when the families involved chose not to proceed. This raises serious questions about the hiring practices at Aramark.
Company’s Response
In a statement, Aramark confirmed that Nixon is no longer employed by the company. They expressed their commitment to cooperating fully with law enforcement investigations into the incident.
Legal Actions
The boy’s parents have taken legal action by filing a civil lawsuit against Aramark. They argue that Nixon should not have been allowed to work in a position where he had access to children. The family’s attorney, Anna Greenberg, described the hiring of Nixon as “unacceptable,” given his previous accusations.
Seeking Witnesses
Houston Police are actively looking for the good Samaritan who intervened, as well as any other witnesses, to come forward with information. They believe additional testimonies could provide more clarity on the incident.
The boy’s father expressed gratitude towards the bystander, stating, “I want to thank him for his bravery and concern.” The family continues to seek justice as the case unfolds.
