Four female employees at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone in New York's Times Square say sexual harassment at the restaurant escalated into rape and forcible sodomy. The women claim their former senior manager, Anthony Rakis, 40, subjected them to months of lewd behavior, according to a $600 million-plus lawsuit filed on Tuesday. Rakis, a married father of two, allegedly was given "full reign" by the Riese Organization -- which owns the restaurant -- to "sexually assault, molest, batter and rape the female employees. In that sense, he was not unlike a pedophile at a daycare center," the lawsuit read. Two days after allegedly drugging and raping ex-senior manager Guilietta Consalvo in a taxi in September 2006, the lawsuit claims Rakis said: "I am so sorry, my behavior was so disgusting. It wasn't me. That was the person I was a long time ago. I used to be a bad person, but my wife turned me around." The women say they were forced to quit after making their complaints known.
