Man accused of raping co-worker granted bond

A Peachtree City man accused of raping a 16-year-old co-worker at a local sandwich store during closing time was granted $50,000 bond in court Friday.

Daniel Joseph Venn, 19, is charged with rape, sexual battery and two counts of aggravated sodomy. The incident occurred at the Subway sandwich store in Peachtree City off Ga. Highway 54 back in February.

The bond request was granted by Fayette County Superior Court Judge Johnnie L. Caldwell.

The incident, which occurred Feb. 4, was investigated by the Peachtree City Police Department. According to the incident report, the victim said that on the evening of the attack, Venn told her he was going to work late "to get overtime."

The victim told police that Venn later approached her from behind and began to kiss her once she went to wash dishes in the back of the store. The incident escalated from there, as he forced himself on her sexually, the victim told police.

The victim told police that after the incident, Venn told her he would call her. When Venn left at her urging, the victim locked the door so he couldn't re-enter the store, the police report stated.
