The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has sued the Senor Frogs bar and restaurant chain, saying female employees were sexually harassed by its CEO and other executives at its Waikiki location.

The AP reports:

The complaint accuses male managers of groping female workers’ breasts and buttocks, and of demanding sex from them. Mangers made graphic, inappropriate and offensive sexual comments, said the lawsuit, which the agency filed in federal court in Honolulu on Thursday. The harassment occurred on a daily basis, it said.
