Sex Assault at Amazon Warehouse, Police Report
Emmanuel Giron, 28, of Reading is charged with attempting to intimidate his alleged sexual assault victim in the Amazon.com parking lot Friday.
A man accused of a sexual assault at the Amazon.com warehouse in Upper Macungie Township is now also accused of trying to intimidate his alleged victim in the parking lot outside of the workplace, according to court papers.
Emmanuel Giron, 28, of Reading, approached his alleged victim at about 5 p.m. Friday as she sat outside of 705 Boulder Drive in her car preparing to leave work, according to an arrest affidavit.
Initially, Giron apologized for the prior incident and asked his alleged victim to drop the charges because he did not want to go to jail, the affidavit says.
But when the alleged victim said that she has nothing to do with the charges, Giron told her that if she does not attempt to get the charges dropped “he will come after her and make her life miserable” when he gets out of jail, the affidavit says.
The alleged victim made the report of the threat to Upper Macungie Township police on Saturday afternoon.
According to court records, Giron was arrested and charged in the sexual assault on Jan. 26. The charges were indecent assault/forcible compulsion, indecent exposure, open lewdness, disorderly conduct/obscene language or gestures and harassment.
A preliminary hearing on those charges is scheduled before District Judge Michael Faulkner on March 11. Giron was free on $25,000 bail when he allegedly made the threat on Friday.
Giron was arrested again on Saturday and charged with intimidation of witnesses or victims, a felony, and terroristic threats. He was arraigned before on-duty District Judge Wayne Maura of Bethlehem and committed to Lehigh County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail.

so Happy kept this scumbag employed, makes you think about an employer who allows an employee charged with sexual assault and other related crimes to work the same shift as the victim. Why not suspend this guy until the charges are resolved...

Well, you have to look at the company that is involved. I don't think that is a great place to work from all the bad publicity they received. But I am sure it was all true.

Another reason why the UMT Supervisors need to think SMART when surrounding our community with warehouses. Let's be honest, has anyone seen the type of worker that breeds in these places? These people pass through our community and very close to our schools. Sexual assault? Lovely. Again, I think people would pay higher taxes then be surrounded by animals like this. Our crime, speeding and other matters I am sure are tied to the individuals "passing through" on the way back to the HOOD in Allentown. Stop at WAWA on Rt 100 any night and see what is crawling around. S-C-A-R-Y. Urban Macungie Township...UMT. Time for more police resources. Excellent point above as well...Amazon kept this creep on the payroll? Nice background checks and keeping on your employees, as long as they pack the boxes...forget the community, just make another donation of a fire truck or kindle. Sad state of affairs...maybe someone will stop this madness and save our community.

It is ignorant to assume that all warehouse workers are uneducation, deviant, predatory, and have an inclination to commit crime in your community. Labeling warehouse workers as "animals," only demostrates your ignorance. Many warehouses do screen their employees and have extensive background checks. Even with a criminal background check, there is no way to predict future criminality, unless they are conducting risk assessments prior to employment. Are you suggesting that an employer should start conducting sex offender risk assessments prior to employment? Sexual assault can happen anywhere. It can even happen in your community with members who are not "animals."

Well said Elsa...I count plenty from Megan's List with employment in our area. How nice. I am sure the folks at Jaindl and Fogelsville Elementary are thrilled to hear that. Maybe the UMT folks can press them to run REAL background investigations. Or at least take a few more Kindles :-)

Chessie20 - No doubt sexual assault can happen anywhere. Nice spelling on your post. Go see the folks that work at Amazon and other night shift warehouses, there are plenty of people who are intelligent and hard working. But, reality is, the majority are scary folks and work that job for a reason. Go look at the police reports and they let many in because they need the workers. I prefer we have no warehouses, how about that? Go check Megan's list....you see for yourself. Keep those losers out of my community.

It is understandable that you want to protect your children from sex offenders, but the reality is a majority of sex offenders know their victim. The "stranger danger" types of offenders are primarily atypical. It is highly unlikely that the sex offenders registered on the PA Megan's Law website (who work in the Upper Macungie warehouses), are going to prey on the children in your community. Unfortunately, you are not going to be able to keep sex offenders out of the community. The only possiblity of purging them is the implementation of sex offender residency restriction laws. Pennsylvania has not implemented this type of legislation. Finally, many of the employees working in the warehouses have Bachelor's Degrees. I work in one of the warehouses and from what I have observed, the majority of the employees are hard-working, law abiding citizens. They are primarily there to support themselves and their families, not to commit crime. The warehouse I work in does require background checks, but as I previously stated, it is hard to predict future criminality without a risk-assessment or psychic. I can understand your frustration with the increased traffic and other incidents that may affect your community, but it is unfair to pigeon-hole warehouse workers into one typology. The actions of a few deviants should not define the entire warehouse worker population.

PA needs to come in with the rest of the world, instead of worrying about your guns being taken away, start cracking down on losers like this. Again, that line of work has suspect people with shady character. I have respect for those earning a living and working hard. Do you know how much of a drain Amazon is from crime and traffic on Upper Macungie Township? You also said it....sex offenders I am sure work at these warehouses. They should all be put in a whole and have it filled in. No rehabilitation for these animals.
