A Fairfax County, Virginia, bakery manager was arrested Thursday and has been accused of inappropriately touching a woman who worked there, the police said.
The Fairfax County police launched an investigation into Alberto Figueiredo, 73, of Fairfax, last week after the victim told her parents of the alleged assault, the police said in a statement.
The victim worked at Wildflour Bakery. Figueiredo served as the general manager and has worked there for more than 10 years.
Fairfax County police say the bakery routinely hires people with developmental disabilities.
Figueiredo faces a felony charge of object sexual penetration against a developmentally disabled adult. He’s being held without bond.
Authorities ask that anyone who has more information or who may have had inappropriate contact with Figueiredo to call their Major Crimes Bureau detectives at 703-246-7800, option 3.
