Stripped naked and made to perform a sex act on her boss's fiance: How
McDonald's worker fell victim to bizarre and cruel hoax
Louise Ugborn. The surreal true story of a McDonald's
employee stripped naked by her boss who had fallen victim to an elaborate hoax
is the subject of a new film.
McDonald's staff member Louise Ogborn,
18, had been working at the Mount Washington branch in Kentucky,
America,
for four months when she was falsely accused of stealing a customer's purse in
2004.
Her boss, assistant manager Donna
Summers had received a phone call from a man pretending to be a police officer
and, on his instruction, subjected her employee to a three-hour ordeal where
she was stripped naked, abused and humiliated.
It was only when another employee
demanded McDonald's head-office be contacted that staff realised they had been
duped by a phone hoaxer who is believed to have targeted managers of more than
70 fast food outlets across America.
The bizarre episode is the basis for new movie
Compliance, starring Dreama Walker, which opened yesterday. It all started when Summers received a phone call from a
man claiming to be a police officer who told her that Ms Ogborn was a 'thief'
who needed to be held until officers arrived at the scene.
