Massachusetts town faces lawsuit for allowing criminal immigrant, sex offender to renew business license
Fox News
Lawsuit alleges Hopkinton officials negligently approved Greek national Petros Sismanis to operate pizza shop where he sexually assaulted 16-year-old employee.
Bonny Chu is a Digital Production Assistant at Fox News Digital.
The complaint also notes that Sismanis was previously accused in 1998 of rape, indecent assault and battery involving female minors, which resulted in his registration as a sex offender. NBC Boston reported he assaulted two employees while operating a donut shop in Hopkinton.
The plaintiff, now 19, claimed Hopkinton officials, the police chief and Hillers Pizza all played a role in fostering a sexually hostile work environment. She alleges that town officials knew, or should have known, about Sismanis’s criminal history when he renewed Hillers Pizza’s license in 2016, a process that requires review by multiple town departments, including the police.
