KISSIMMEE, Fla. – An Osceola County restaurant supervisor was arrested on allegations of raping a teenage worker.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said the incident happened at a Pizza Hut restaurant in Kissimmee around 1 a.m. on Aug. 26.
According to deputies, the teen said the supervisor, Calvin Cooke, 31, cornered the teen in the bathroom and performed sex acts on the teen.
Sheriff Marcos Lopez said Cooke had also been flirting with the teen on Snapchat, even though he knew they were underage. Lopez said Cooke sent the teen sexually explicit pictures.

Lopez said sheriff’s office investigators spoke to Cooke, and he admitted to what he did. He also said Cooke had been fired from the Pizza Hut.
“This child, 16, she’s gonna be scarred for life,” Lopez said.
Lopez said parents need to exercise caution when it comes to their children and social media.
“People like Calvin Cooke out there exist, and they are waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of your children,” Lopez said.
Lopez said he felt this was a case where arresting Cooke wasn’t enough. The sheriff’s office is concerned Cooke may have had interactions with other teens, and are asking people to talk to the sheriff’s office if they know anything.
