PARKERSBURG, W.Va., March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Two young women have filed separate lawsuits against Charter Foods, Inc., a company owned by NASCAR team owner Bob Jenkins. Both women claim they were sexually harassed on multiple occasions by a convicted sex offender when they worked at a Taco Bell in Parkersburg. The suits state Charter Foods knew Bo Gehling's status as a sex offender who just finished serving a jail sentence for violating his probation when they rehired him as a shift supervisor to oversee minor workers.
