An autistic woman was allegedly sexually assaulted by a shop assistant after he told her she could only buy a sex toy if she tried it out with him in the back room.
The suspect then started touching her and tried to penetrate her in a sex shop in Paris, according to French newspaper Le Parisien.
The victim refused the man’s advances and ran from the store before reporting the incident to her father and human resources manager.
The attack is said to have taken place on Monday around 12.30 pm in a sex shop on Boulevard de Clichy, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.

The police received a description of the suspect, who was quickly arrested and taken into custody.
An investigation has now been launched into the alleged attack and it is understood the sex shop has CCTV cameras in the store.
The Boulevard de Clichy is a famous street in Paris full of erotic sex shops.
The stores first appeared in the 1960s, but their numbers have declined due to changes in pornography consumption.
