Weird story. Apparently, the delivery driver walked into the customers home (door was open) where he was waiting? with his pants and underwear down.

When I delivered pizza, I would absolutely never enter a home. That’s like rule #1. Really good way to get robbed. Or see something you don’t want to.

And seeing a naked man in his home is not the same as being sexually assaulted. It’s gross and probably illegal if he set it all up for sexual gratification, but unless there’s more to this story, there was no assault.

I’m not sure what she wanted door dash to do about it? If you report something like that they obviously won’t respond immediately, it would get flagged and sent to a legal team.

  Well, maybe deacticate the guy’s account instead of the victim? Or arbitrate it properly? Definitely not disable access to her account (and money). But I guess now she has a legal case against them for both negligence and wage theft (I know the US doesn’t really prosecute wage theft, even though it is the biggest form of financial theft).

    I assumed they froze both accounts to have a legal team properly review everything. Even a small complaint can get your account frozen. And it’s not wage theft when you’re technically a third party contractor.

    Sounds like she posted her video of the customer online, which would seem to make her hands unclean. Taking the video for your own evidence sure, but posting it online crosses a line. So I could easily see both parties having their accounts suspended.
    
    So he likely set a trap for a stranger to get a show to get off on being a bit of an exhibitionist, but it’s hard to really prove that intent, and she took a video of it and then posted it online, which is another whole can of worms being opened.
    
    Now if they are refusing to let her take money from doordash, she’s got a legal case, though unsure if it is ‘wage theft’, since the whole loophole with these ‘gig’ companies is that there’s no employment and it’s all transactional. Terribly exploitative system.

  Don’t excise this guy’s behavior. He set up a deliberate situation in order to make her uncomfortable. That is sexual assault.
  
  Also, she didn’t “go into” his house. He was visible from well outside the door. Which is viewable from public areas. Which is a crime.

    “Making her uncomfortable” is not sexual assault. Where, exactly, is the assault? Saying shit like this cheapens and trivializes actual sexual assaults and the impact those words have on society.

  Yeah going inside was dumb and should be against the rules if it isn’t already. Still I would expect them to ban the dude from placing future orders and would want to know if they had ignored previous reports about him (probably need a lawyer of your own to find that out though).

  When I delivered pizza, I would absolutely never enter a home. That’s like rule #1. Really good way to get robbed. Or see something you don’t want to.
  
  I also delivered pizza and knew this rule… Partly because fellow drivers and my workplace told me about it. These drivers don’t have coworkers nor bosses that tell them what is and what isn’t safe. A lot of them are young and have never worked with the general public, or have previously been very sheltered.
  
  And seeing a naked man in his home is not the same as being sexually assaulted. It’s gross and probably illegal if he set it all up for sexual gratification, but unless there’s more to this story, there was no assault.
  
  Yes, it is… Like most people, you are confusing assault with battery. Sexual assault is any nonconsensual sexual contact(meeting/encounter). Sexual battery or aggravated sexual assault is sexual assault with the use or threat of force.
  
  I’m not sure what she wanted door dash to do about it? If you report something like that they obviously won’t respond immediately, it would get flagged and sent to a legal team.
  
  Some of the apps require you to get a code from the buyer to get paid for the delivery.
  
  I don’t really know why we are blaming the victim here?

    An alternate perspective: he had a peeper let herself into his house, then accuse him of being naked in his own home.
    
    From her perspective, she obviously believes it was an intentional assault. On the other side of the same coin, it’s entirely possible that she just strolled into some dude’s house when he wasn’t expecting it. And if that’s the case, he was the one who was assaulted. He was out of public view, and being naked in the privacy of your own home isn’t a crime by itself.
    
    My point is simply that we can’t know what happened, because none of us were there. So to simply open by stating that she was assaulted is inherently biased. If he intentionally set it up for his own gratification, he assaulted her. I’m not arguing against that. But if he genuinely wasn’t expecting someone to let themselves into his house, (because honestly, why would anyone think that’s okay to do?) then he’s actually the victim here.
    
    And the actual “what happened” part is something for lawyers to argue over in court. If he had a note saying to let herself in, and the front door was standing wide open, it’s a pretty open and shut case against him. Still a monumentally stupid move on the driver’s part, (because seriously, why would you ever enter someone’s home while making a delivery?) but it would obviously be something that he orchestrated. But again, that’s for the lawyers to argue about, because there could be confounding factors. What if there was no note to let yourself in, and he just had the door open because he was airing out the house on a nice day? Maybe he expected the driver to leave his food on the porch. Maybe he didn’t have his phone on him (because he was naked and had no pockets) and therefore didn’t feel the notification that the driver was on their way. Those are just a few quick what-ifs off the top of my head, and any of them could be possible.

  If the door was open and there was no response when you rang/ called out and you expected someone to be there i think it’s pretty normal to want to enter and make sure whomever was at home was ok. Filming your entry would be smart too. The girl might have expected to find someone injured or maybe even a corpse.

  Blaming the victim and defending the pervert isn’t a good look.

  - mcv@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago
    Is she the victim, though? From what I understand, the guy wasn’t at the door, but asleep (or pretending to be) in his own home, which should be entirely legal. The “more info” link says the door was ajar and she filmed him. If she pushed open the door, entered his home and filmed him there, she might be the sex offender here.
    
    Of course if he set this up intentionally, that’s exhibitionism (not voyeurism, as the article incorrectly calls it), but still, inside his own home.

    Walking into someone’s home and complaining you saw him naked is not assault.

My take: they are BOTH creeps. The dude ordered food, then got nude. That is a weird thing to do when you are expecting someone you aren’t having sex with.

The lady is also a creep, because she entered the home and filmed him, then uploaded the vid. Most delivery folk just drop the food at the doorstep or push the doorbell to hand off the food. Going into a home is outside of their duties, for all sorts of reasons.

Doordash is also a baddy. They should have paid what the deliveryman is owed, and THEN formally deactivate their employment.

  Classic “ESH” (everyone sucks here). As much as people like to pick a good guy and bad guy, a very significant percentage of shitty situations come down to ESH.

This is why every app that touches money should be peer to peer. DoorDash would be an escrow, but unable to unilaterally seize the funds.

    Escrow is third party, second party can’t be escrow. In this case door dash can’t really be an escrow as it will be second party.

I already looked into answering your door nude and yes that is legal, indecent exposure. It’s not SA though.

Okay but also don’t record people without their consent and post it publicly. Idk why she was suspended but that would be reason enough.

If you think it would be evidence of a crime and you felt like you needed it to pursue charges I could understand saving a photo or video privately to later turn over, but suppose dude got blitzed, ordered DoorDash, and passed out before it arrived, and you’re gonna share that with 8 billion of your closest friends?

  The fact that she filmed him inside his own home certainly sounds iffy to me. Do door dashers carry a body cam that films everything? That could explain how she accidentally filmed him. But if she filmed him intentionally, inside his own home, then doesn’t that technically make her the sex offender in this story?

    Whether she accidentally or intentionally filmed him, I think that’s within her rights. But either way, it was not within her rights to go and share that on the internet, accidental or intentional.

I mean, seems pretty minor tbh. She arrived, and his door was open, he was sleeping and naked. Just drop the food and dip. Why pull out your phone and start filming?
