chick-fil-a there. >> julie carey joins us live from the mall with details of this. jules. >> reporter: hey, wendy and jim. the troubling allegations are laid out in this search warrant document. this says it all started when that store manager allegedly asked one of his employees, a female juvenile, to sendn his e photos of herself. worried that she'd lose her job, she eventually complied and then things got even worse. he was the manager at the far oaks mall, chick-fil-a. he's under arrest now facing charges of solicitation and taking indecntiberties with a minor.o these court dcuments reveal the trouble started when he began texting a teen employee repeatedly asking her for nude photos. she resisted, but eventually sent a waste up shot. next he started texting her asking her to meet him for sex. she turned him down, but kept quiet about the osolicitati >> it was difficult for her to come forward, because she's

scared of losing her job. >> but then it got worse. one day he allegedly took therl gi into a hallway behind the chick-fil-a restaurant and sexually assaulted her. she contacted police. >> she's managing a number of uvenile, so it's important f her to be brave enough to come forward, so we appreciate it. we could have other viims. we don't have any indication there's other victims, but that's the first thing we look into. >> reporter: police gathered t evidence int mall hallway where the assault allegedly took place and soon after they made an arrest.ey thare urging other juveniles to come forward anytime someone solicits them in text, online, or in person for nude photos or for sex. >> just requesting, sendingde pictures is a crime or requesting to have sexual contact with a juvenile is a crime. >> that last point really important for both juveniles and rents to understand. simply asking, soliciting someone who's underage is a
