Prosecutors: Cousins Subs manager coerced 16-year-old employee into sex at the restaurant

Jordan Flamand



WAUKESHA -- A Cousins Subs manager is facing charges after prosecutors said he coerced an underage employee into sex.

According to a criminal complaint, Jordan Flamand, 23, and the girl, 16, were having sex inside the store when the girl's father came to pick her up after her shift.

Flamand faces four charges:


    The complaint said the discovery was made by the girl's father on Feb. 1 at the restaurant on Pearl Street in Waukesha. When her parents came to pick her up around 10:30 p.m., they said the store looked closed and empty. The father became worried, so he went inside and to a back room, where he caught the two in the act, the complaint said.

    According to prosecutors, the girl admitted to her parents and police she was forced into sexual acts on several occasions, saying she "didn't have a choice whether to stop or continue having sex." She said she "felt that if she said no, that it would be rape," and that she "didn't want it to be rape."

    The complaint said Flamand also pushed the girl into posing for nude pictures and cleaning the restaurant with her clothes off. An investigation revealed he also lied about his age, the complaint said.

    Prosecutors said Flamand co-managed the location with his sister.
