The Atlanta Police Department is investigating allegations that Waffle House CEO Joe W. Rogers Jr. repeatedly forced an Acworth woman to perform sex acts on him during her time as Rogers' personal assistant. Mye Brindle worked out of Rogers' Buckhead home as his assistant from 2003 until May 2012. It was at that Chatham Road home that the 43-year-old Acworth single mother said most of the alleged acts occurred, according to an Atlanta Police incident report.

Setting out from the Muscogee Creek village at Standing Peachtree, he would make his way along the Peachtree road–a footpath cut through the underbrush over the centuries. Instead of cement and glass, the skyline would consist of trees and hilltops, thick and green and devoid of kudzu. If our traveler were going northeast, he might pass the beaver ruin. Instead, he crosses the Chattahoochee at the shallow ford. In doing so, he leaves Creek territory and enters the Cherokee Nation. A full day’s walk will bring him to the …
