A 37-year-old man was charged Tuesday with sexually assaulting an employee at a Bucks County Halloween attraction, three weeks after he was charged with sexually assaulting an employee while working as a Five Below store manager.
Edward Eisenhard, whom prosecutors described as a suspected “serial sex predator,” is facing multiple charges after being accused of strangling and assaulting a coworker at Lower Southampton Township’s Valley of Fear Halloween attraction on Sept. 26.
During a news conference on Tuesday, Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan said prosecutors also learned that earlier this month, Eisenhard sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl, whom he knew.
The latest charges come approximately three weeks after Eisenhard was charged with sexually assaulting a Five Below employee in an incident that reportedly took place on Sept. 27, a day after the reported assault at Valley of Fear.
“This is a 38-year-old man who exploited that opportunity to create victims between the ages of 12 and 38,” Khan said.
Resources for victims of sexual assault are available through the National Sexual Violence Resources Center and the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at 800-656-4673.
Prosecutors said they believe there may be additional victims of Eisenhard, who also worked as a volunteer firefighter.
Anyone with information that could help in the investigation is asked to contact the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.
“If you are a victim, our office is a safe place where you will be heard. You are a person that we will treat with respect and with dignity, and we will fight for you to get you justice,” Khan said.

On Oct. 5, NBC10 learned that Eisenhard, a manager of a Five Below in Bucks County, was accused of sexually assaulting one of his employees.
The incident occurred back on Sept. 27, 2026, inside the Five Below on Route 113 in the Souderton section of Hilltown Township, Pennsylvania, according to the criminal complaint.
The woman told police she was working inside the store around 7:10 p.m. when Eisenhard, her boss, called her and told her to help clean the back stockroom.
As she was cleaning the room, Eisenhard made lewd comments towards her before restraining her and sexually assaulting her, investigators said.
According to the woman, Eisenhard later told her during her shift, “You know you could have said no at any point, if you did not want anything.”
Later that night, Eisenhard called the victim into another room at the store to help count money, investigators said. Eisenhard then asked the victim, “How was your Sunday night?” according to the criminal complaint. He then laughed and said, “My Sunday night was really good” and later told her, “What happens on Sunday night shifts stays on Sunday night shifts,” according to investigators.
As the victim entered the breakroom, Eisenhard followed her and pushed her into a table before telling her, “This table is sturdy,” officials said. The victim said she then slid out from between the table and Eisenhard before exiting the breakroom and calling her partner.
The victim reported the incident and on Sept. 28, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office intercepted a call between her and Eisenhard, according to the criminal complaint. During the call, Eisenhard admitted to sexually assaulting the woman and apologized for his actions, investigators said.
Eisenhard was then arrested on Thursday, Oct. 1, as he was on his way to work.
He was charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse forcible compulsion, aggravated indecent assault without consent, aggravated indecent assault – forcible compulsion, indecent assault forcible compulsion, and indecent assault without consent of other.
NBC10 also reached out to Five Below. We have not yet received a response from the company.
On Oct. 12, a woman reported to police that she had been assaulted by her coworker and supervisor, later identified as Eisenhard, at the Valley of Fear haunted attraction on Bristol Road.
During her interview with police, the woman told officers that Eisenhard made her “very uncomfortable” and assaulted her while she they were working on Sept. 26, according to the criminal complaint.
She told police it all started when Eisenhard approached her and grabbed her by the throat to the point where she had difficulty breathing. She also told police he pinned both of her wrists above her head as he made sexual comments, the complaint states.
She then told Eisenhard to stop, and as he let her go, she told police he touched her breast over her shirt, the complaint states.
The victim also said that later that night, Eisenhard told her that he would “see her later,” so she avoided him and left work early.
Moreover, the complaint says that an officer spoke with one of Valley of Fear’s supervisors, who said he was aware of the incident. That supervisor told police that he spoke with Eisenhard on the phone after finding out what had happened.
The supervisor said Eisenhard was “upset” but “never denied doing what he did.” He also said that Eisenhard told him that he “might have read the situation wrong,” the complaint says.
According to prosecutors, Eisenhard had worked at this Halloween attraction for at least 10 seasons.
Valley of Fear declined to comment on Eisenhard’s charges.
Khan said Eisenhard had initially been granted bail in the Five Below case but remained in custody because he was unable to post bail.
However, Khan said he hopes Eisenhard will be held without bail following the announcement of the new charges.
“Our office will be following the policy that we put in place this year of asking that defendants such as this, who cannot be trusted to be in the community under any circumstances, no matter how much money they come up with, that this defendant will be held without bail if our motion, these other allegations, is granted,” Khan said.
