A jury could find a Philadelphia McDonald’s store manager sexually harassed a teen worker while interviewing her for a crew member job, a federal judge ruled.

Tamiah Marcellus raised fact issues for trial against franchisee Tanway Enterprises on one of two harassment theories, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania said. Marcellus can potentially prove her allegations that Darnell Penn subjected her to a hostile work environment, the court said.
