Bucks County DA: 3 victims accused of assault by hayride worker, more likely

Bucks County prosecutors are asking the public to identify additional victims of a 38-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting three females, including a child under 12. District Attorney Joe Khan stated at a Tuesday news conference that investigators strongly believe there are more people who suffered similar abuse.

The suspect, Edward Eisenhard, is currently held in jail without bail. His charges were upgraded on Thursday, and Khan is requesting that he remain in custody. Khan described Eisenhard as a highly dangerous recidivistic sex offender, noting that real monsters exist in the world.

One alleged incident occurred at Valley of Fear, a haunted hayride attraction in Feasterville, Pennsylvania. Eisenhard worked at the attraction and allegedly assaulted a female employee during a break on September 25. That date marked the venue’s opening night. A criminal complaint states that Eisenhard grabbed the victim tightly by her throat until she had difficulty breathing. He then pinned her wrists above her head against a wall, made sexual comments, and indecently assaulted her over her clothing.

Valley of Fire terminated Eisenhard the day after the September 25 incident. Two days later, he allegedly assaulted the same victim again at a Five Below store in Hilltown Township, where he also held a position. The victim told investigators that Eisenhard, who was her boss, restrained and sexually assaulted her while she was cleaning the store’s back stockroom.

Beyond the workplace incidents, investigators say Eisenhard repeatedly abused and sexually assaulted a child under 12 at a home in Springfield Township. Detectives from the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office uncovered these additional allegations after reviewing Eisenhard’s history at both of his jobs.

Eisenhard was arrested on October 1. He was unable to post bail following his initial arrest and remains in custody. Fox News Digital has contacted Valley of Fear and Five Below for comment on the situation.
