Investigators in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, are asking the public to come forward, saying there may be more victims of a man accused of sexually assaulting three females, including a child under 12. The suspect, 38-year-old Edward Eisenhard, faces numerous charges.

District Attorney Joe Khan addressed the case at a news conference on Tuesday. "There are real monsters in the world," he said, describing Eisenhard as a "highly dangerous recidivistic sex offender."

One of the alleged attacks took place at Valley of Fear, a haunted hayride attraction in Feasterville, Pennsylvania. Prosecutors say Eisenhard assaulted a victim there while on a break from his job at the attraction.

According to a criminal complaint, the incident happened on September 25, the attraction's opening night. The complaint says Eisenhard approached an employee who was working alone and "grabbed the victim tightly by her throat to the point that she had difficulty breathing." It further alleges he pinned both of her wrists above her head against a wall, made sexual comments and indecently assaulted her over her clothing.

Valley of Fear fired him the following day. Two days after that, he allegedly assaulted the same victim again at a Five Below store in Hilltown Township, where he also worked. The victim told investigators that Eisenhard, who was her boss, restrained and sexually assaulted her while she was cleaning the store's back stockroom.

Eisenhard was arrested on October 1. Investigators say that before those incidents, he also repeatedly abused and sexually assaulted a child under 12 at a home in Springfield Township.

Detectives with the Bucks County District Attorney's Office uncovered additional allegations of similar behavior at both of his workplaces. They said they "strongly believe that there are additional victims."

Eisenhard remains in jail after being unable to post bail following his initial arrest. His charges were upgraded Thursday, and the district attorney is asking that he be held without bail.
