Man Accused of Raping Woman at Restaurant
JACKSON, Tenn.- An former employee at a Jackson restaurant is accused of raping a woman while on the clock. Jackson police have charged Kevin Reid, 30, with the May 28 rape of a 19-year-old woman at Moe’s Southwest Grill, located on Emporium Drive. Reid and the woman were working at the restaurant on the date of the attack. The woman reported that she was cleaning a restroom when Reid entered and locked the door. Investigators said he then pushed her against the wall, and then touched her inappropriately. The victim said that Reid did not have consent to touch her in any way. The owner of the restaurant says he is fully cooperating with the investigation and that Reid is no longer an employee. Reid was arraigned Thursday morning in Jackson City Court on a charge of rape. His bond was set at $75,000. His next scheduled court appearance is set for June 20.
