Wild Heaven Bartender Alleges Sexual Assault By Friend Of Owner

A Wild heaven bartender is alleging he was sexually assaulted Saturday night by a friend of Owner Nick Purdy.  The video above comes from the facebook page of Dedrick Flynn. This is from Dedrick Flynn:

Yesterday at my job at Wild Heaven Brewery I was sexaully assaulted by the owner Nick Purdy’s friend scott. he will not give me his full name to make a police report. His friend Scott walked up me grab me by my privates and said “sorry I was trying to grab your @$$”. I did become furious and demand he leave and one of investors told me that “he would leave in a minute”. My company @wildheavenbeer does not have a way to document sexual harassment nor did my owner have any paper work ready to legally get the ball moving. Where is a black man safe, honestly where is someone safe from these actions. Wild Heaven owner nick purdy who also owns paste magazine does not care about his employees but his friends.
