Episode Details

A San Diego woman is suing Dollar Tree after a terrifying assault in one of their stores, alleging a disturbing pattern of “gooning” incidents nationwide. The attacker allegedly followed her, touched her inappropriately, and fled — all while store cameras were down, leaving no evidence. Though law enforcement arrested a 22-year-old suspect, the lawsuit claims Dollar Tree’s systemic failures — including understaffing and broken security — turn its aisles into hunting grounds. At least 11 similar assaults have been reported across the country since last year, with plaintiffs warning that online trends may be fueling the rise. The victim now fears everyday errands, saying she needs company just to feel safe — hoping this case sparks change before more women suffer the same trauma.
