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.
