SANDUSKY, Ohio — Twenty-seven people with stories of their own sexual assault -- all allegedly unfolding inside the employee dorms of Cedar Point throughout the past five summers.
Of the 27 cases, just three men have ever been charged.
A special 3News Investigates series that we launched May 2 on What’s Next takes viewers inside those dorms where the sexual assault survivors say poor behavior goes on unabated.
While Cedar Point officials say the safety of workers is a “top priority,” and when needed, they send incidents to Sandusky police, the park’s own police department refuses to release any of their reports.
"I'd gotten to a point to where I honestly didn't want to be alive anymore,” one woman told 3News Investigates.
3News Investigates partnered with TEGNA sister stations WTOL in Toledo and WBNS in Columbus to produce the series, which includes exclusive interviews with three women, all former employees who say they were sexually assaulted.
