A man registered as a sex offender attacked two little girls in the women's restroom of a restaurant in Ashburn, Virginia, police say.
Luis F. Ore, 20, was arrested Sunday after the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said he sexually assaulted two girls in the women's restroom of Elevation Burger, in the One Loudoun shopping center. He worked at the restaurant, the company confirmed.
The victims are under age 13, police said.
Ore, of Sterling, followed the girls into the restroom, held them against their will and sexually assaulted them, police said.
Ore was arrested at his workplace, police said Monday.
Ore's listing in the Virginia Sex Offender Registry categorizes him as violent and says he was convicted in July 2012 of the abduction and sexual battery of a minor.
After the attack Sunday, Ore was charged with two counts of abduction and two counts of sexual assault of a person under age 13. He is being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center.

"Our customers and communities are our priority and, without equivocation, the arrested employee was immediately terminated. Elevation Burger is currently investigating the internal processes for which he was hired," the statement said.
