Here is the McDonalds Strip Search Video, a 24-minute look at McDonald’s surveillance video clips where Louise Ogburn was forced to strip, be spanked, and perform sex acts on coworkers.
In the McDonalds strip search video, 18-year-old Louise Ogburn pictured above, was accused by a prank phone caller of stealing money from a customer’s purse and then taken into her manager’s office and abused for almost four hours!
Louise Ogburn on phone with her accuser, “Officer Scott”, is naked except for her black apron. All the employees quickly fell under his spell and did everything they were told to do. Even the victim willingly complied with his strip search instructions.
Ogburn’s McDonalds lawsuit resulted in a $6.1 million dollar judgement against the fast food giant which was shown to have been aware of 70 previous strip search incidents initiated by hoax phone calls across the country.
Ordered to strip completely in front of male coworker, her black apron is cast aside and placed atop her shoes. The store’s assistant manager had already collected all of Ogborn’s clothes, bagged them and removed them from McDonalds, basically leaving her alone in the office at the mercy of the mystery caller’s whims.
Naked and now being spanked by her coworker, Louise Ogburn had no idea how much further she would be degraded by “Oficer Scott’s” phone commands.
Ogburn was spanked for more than ten minutes to make her more submissive and do as she was told.
Louise Ogburn claimed she was totally humiliated by her strip search.
Ordered to perform oral sex on a coworker during her strip search video ordeal, Louise Ogborn did as she was told by “Officer Scott.” She was later sodomized by this same employee who wasn’t even a McDonalds manager…
McDonalds Strip Search Video
An 18-year old McDonald’s employee is strip searched in a back room after she is accused of stealing a purse by a man on the phone claiming to be a police officer. The McDonald’s strip search video is from Primetime on ABC. The original restaurant surveillance tape has never been publicly released.
Other Restaurant Prank Call Strip Searches:
The first report of such a call came in 1995, in Devil’s Lake, N.D.; another came later that year in Fallon, Nev. The caller, usually pretending to be a police officer investigating a crime, targeted stores in small towns and rural communities — areas where managers were more likely to be trusting.
Eventually, there were more than 70 strip search incidents. Most were fast-food restaurants, where the male and female victims were young and inexperienced, and assistant managers were likely to be working without supervision.
The manager of a Burger King in Fargo, ND insisted that he thought it was a police officer who had told him over the phone on Jan. 20, 1999, to slap a 17-year-old employee on her naked buttocks.
On Nov. 30, 2000, the caller persuaded the manager at a McDonald’s in Leitchfield, Ky., to remove her own clothes in front of a customer whom the caller said was suspected of sex offenses. The caller promised that undercover officers would burst in and arrest the customer the moment he attempted to molest her.
On May 29, 2002, a girl celebrating her 18th birthday — in her first hour of her first day on the job at the McDonald’s in Roosevelt, Iowa — was forced to strip, jog naked and assume a series of embarrassing poses, all at the direction of a caller on the phone, according to court and news accounts.
On Jan. 26, 2003, according a police report in Davenport, Iowa, an assistant manager at an Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar conducted a degrading 90-minute search of a waitress at the behest of a caller who said he was a regional manager — even though the man had called collect, and despite the fact the assistant manager had read a company memo warning about hoax calls just a month earlier.
On June 3, 2003, according to a city police spokesman in Juneau, Alaska, a caller to a Taco Bell there said he was working with the company to investigate drug abuse at the store, and had a manager pick out a 14-year-old customer — and then strip her and force her to perform lewd acts.
Ultimately, of the 70 confirmed locations where the calls triggered strip-searches, 53 were fast-food stores and nine were sit-down restaurants.
Some managers cried as they carried out the caller’s orders. But court documents show that others performed with great zeal.
At a Burger King in Pendleton, Ind., a supervisor was so intent on finishing a search of a 15-year-old girl in December 2001 that when the girl’s father arrived to pick her up from work, he had to jump over the counter to end her humiliation.
And in Dover, Del., a Burger King manager who was strip-searching an 18-year-old employee in March 2003 fought off the worker’s mother and boyfriend so strenuously that state police had to be called.
Court records also show that over time, the demands in the hoax calls grew more perverse.
At a McDonald’s in Hinesville, Ga., in February 2003, a 55-year-old janitor was told to put his finger in the vagina of a 19-year-old cashier, supposedly to look for contraband, according to court records.
In Joplin, Mo., according to a police report, a caller in May 2004 persuaded a 16-year-old girl who was managing a Sonic restaurant to strip-search and perform oral sex on a 21-year-old male cook — and then got the cook to strip-search the manager.
McDonalds Strip Search Video
Obviously, the McDonalds strip search video isn’t the only one ever recorded. Fast food restaurant managers seem more than willing to strip search employees and customers when told to do so by a stranger on the phone.
With 70 documented strip searches corroborated by news reports and private investigators working on the McDonalds lawsuit, there are probably lots of other juicy strip search video clips out there in some ex-managers grubby hands.
All the prank strip search calls were allegedly the work of one David Stewart of Panama City, Florida. Despite extensive evidence linking him to the many of the calls, he was acquitted of any crime.
You can also find out a lot more details of what really happened during the McDonalds strip search incident, including statements made shortly afterwards by the McDonald’s manager and by Louise Ogborn herself, by reading this extensive story detailing the entire history of the strip search prank calls.

This is a classic example of what’s referred to as “Milgram” power,
Perceived authority carries much power, studies show.
Psychological experts say it is human nature to obey orders, no matter how evil they might seem — as was illustrated in one of the most famous and frightening human experiments of the 20th century.
Seeking to understand why so many Germans followed orders during the Holocaust, Dr. Stanley Milgram, a Yale University psychologist, took out a classified ad in 1960 and 1961, inviting residents of New Haven, Conn., to take part in what they were told was a study of the relationship between punishment and learning.
A man in a white lab coat introduced the participants to a student, and told them to shock the student each time he made a mistake, increasing the voltage with each error.
In reality, the machine was a prop, and the student was an actor who wasn’t shocked. Yet nearly two-thirds of Milgram’s subjects gave what they believed were paralyzing jolts to a pitifully protesting victim simply because an authority figure — the man in the white coat — had commanded them to do so.
“With numbing regularity, good people were seen to knuckle under the demands of authority and perform actions that were callous and severe,” Milgram wrote of his results, which were later replicated in nine other countries.
Milgram died in 1984, but his biographer and protege, Dr. Thomas Blass, said in an interview that the behavior of the people duped in the strip-search hoaxes would not have surprised him.
“Once you accept another person’s authority, you become a different person,” Blass said. “You are concerned with how well you follow out your orders, rather than whether it is right or wrong.”
Be careful because the strip search Nazis are out there waiting… and you might be next!

That whole McDonalds strip search video is disgusting!
Only a pervert would want to watch an innocent young girl being spanked and forced to perform lewd sex acts!
October 6th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
Does the pranker wanker behind all these hoaxs have a greatest hits video? Cuz it’d be awesome to hear the phone conversation synced up with the surveillance video!
Coworker: “Ok, I’ve spanked her so hard her ass is glowing red. What should I do next?”
Phone perv: “Give her five more swats, then tell her to behave and do as she’s told. Now, here’s what I want you to do next…”
Victim: “Oh God, noooo! Please no, not the eggbeater again! Aaaagghhh!”
McDonalds Strip Search Video: Coming soon to Wal-Mart in Blu-Ray DVD!
October 6th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
btw, there’s no uncensored version of the mcdonalds strip search video available anywhere.
the original tape has been in police custody ever since the investigation of what happened to little louise began.
chick’s only like 90lbs or something and destined to be a “sub” her whole life, albeit a rich one…
October 6th, 2007 at 4:16 pm
it’s amazing how docile and cooperative she looks in that first picture! i mean, she’s standing practically naked in front of an older man and covered only by a black work apron, yet she looks like she’s chatting on the phone with a close friend…
and to let it go on for hours and hours? why didn’t she just say enough is enough?
that prank caller must have gotten into all their heads bigtime!!!
October 6th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
something is not right here. what about the prospect that Louise is in on a conspiracy with these others to get millions out of McDonalds?? She seems too calm, there is something methodical and rehearsed about the whole thing. It seems like play-acting…

October 8th, 2007 at 5:08 pm
frankly, i dont think she deserves that money. just because her (and her fellow employees) are THAT F*CKING STUPID does not mean that she should be set for life!
October 8th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
just because this girl and her fellow employees are THAT STUPID does not mean she should be set for life. it’s her own stupidity that lead her to that situation, and she does NOT deserve the money.
October 8th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
Very interesting post, Dr. Joseph Mengele, regarding the so- called ‘Milgram’ power. Now tell me, am I supposed to really believe this? Or am I too trusting… believing you’re really a doctor, and as such are one in a position of authority?
October 9th, 2007 at 2:47 pm
this could happen in any work place or school. kids feel like they have to be submissive to managers or principals. we must really protect the kids in school and places like mcdonalds. this should never happen to anyone’s kid and if you are a parent, you should pick your kid up from school or work.
October 12th, 2007 at 8:07 pm
Mengele? Cronkite, you dumbass.
As for you…well known study, but I dont know how far such a concept applies. First of all, about the actual study, try that the participants really didnt CARE about pain they cause? Maybe they relished it, and used authority as rationalization of not being culpable for consequences? Never discount the occasion tinge (or more) of sadism. Second of all, this seems a bit unusual for the other employees to be that stupid as to only be following the orders for their own sake. Hell, he apparently had her blow him afterwards…not commanded…
October 15th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
What an idiot!!! She doesn’t deserve anything except maybe $20 for a thank you from the guy in the office. I can’t believe we have people this dumb or that mcdonalds is responsible for this. I think its a scam they pulled, the three of them. She needed money what better way and easier target than mcdonalds. Hope McDonalds wins their appeal, than maybe she can take her new hobby to the streets.
October 16th, 2007 at 4:50 am
Bizzare! I couldn’t believe that the manager, her fiance, and employees went along with the callers demands. At least the maint. man and one other employee refused. But either of those should have contacted the local police. This young woman will never have a normal life because of this incident. Did this manager not have any common sense? I know exactly what I would have done if I were in this situation. Some annonymous person calls, claims to be a police officer, tells me to do a strip search… I’d tell him to come do it himself! Send a marked car with a uniform officer. Everyone knows that”strip searches” of employees is considered sexual harrassment! DUH! Further, I think that 98% of the US population knows that strip searches are only conducted legally in correctional facilities. No food establishment tolorates sexual harrassment in any way. Whoever this manager was is utterly stupid if she thinks anyone believes that she thought she was doing the right thing. How stupid do you have to be to not realize that it was a hoax? There is no way you can expect me to believe that everyone in KY is that dumb! This really is a no brainer. I hope that each of the persons that participated in this girls humiliation and torture gets the max punishment by law.
I’m not sure how responsible McDonalds Co. is concerning this incedent. maybe they should require all potential management to take a test concerning such matters and scenarios. And they must pass 100% before assuming a managment position? Maybe McDonalds already does this. I don’t know. It just irritates me that the manager didn’t exercise common sense. Just my opinions.
October 17th, 2007 at 3:52 am
just watched the video, it is so messed up how naive these ppl can be not to question anything after the demands for this “search” got so perverse, that is something you do in a police station not a fast food franchise!
Couldnt they have used common sense and the guy making the calls was aquitted wtf!?! only in america
All those involved should be punished and sued for sexually molesting this innocent beautiful young woman including mcdonalds and the other restaurants that emotionally scared young woman and men
for hiring such stupid ppl who dont know that sexual harassment as the video said doesnt tolerate sexual harassment in any form esp from a stranger on the phone
btw I agree with comment 14 ^
and also this young lady will never lead a normal life for a long time because this emotional scar will be with her a long time and if she gets past this it will still be with her
god bless her, her family and to the other 69 victims and family of this twisted sicko pervert David Stewart of Panama City, Florida.
may they be well, get past this and may David Stewart rot in hell for his actions
just my 2 cents worth
October 21st, 2007 at 1:34 pm
that´s a scam! Nobody is that stupid. Come on! She performed oral sex and sodomized for a job, get the hell out!
October 30th, 2007 at 12:20 am
Unbelivable….
as crazy as it looks…..i am not surprised it happened….. i would hope people would be smarter then that… ofcourse so many people are stupid…
I guess the girl is lucky the guy on the phone (possing as a cop)didn’t tell they guy to beat her with his belt…
seems she likely would have accepted a whipping her thought process was turned off completely..also in seeing that video i guess she is lucky she wasn’t made to endore the guy checking all her orfices
so…does she desearve the money
no way at all
and now she plans on being a lawyer
yeah right..
like that ding bat of a girl would ever pass the bar exam
i just keep recalling how she said she was raised in a manor of that
if an adult (she was 18..so she was supposedly an adult at least in age and legalities)tells you something or yells or hits your hand….you do as you are told..
WOW her parents screwed up big time in not putting more smarts into her..
i also do not get
how the heck she got a spanking of nearly 10 minutes
that left her with heavy welts (from the sound of it nearly bleeding)…
a spanking by hand no less and yet to have been given so hard as to cause heavy welts (covered even in heavy welts)..
if anyone has given a spanking it is usally things like belts or paddles that cause heavy welts all over…
so if a hand spanking caused heavy welting all over
this only can happen if the spanking was truely hard and unusaly cruel (i know her entire ordeal was unusauly cruel
but that is not my point)
so this very severe hand spanking will obviously makeload noise from the hand raining down very hard on bared bottom ….time and time and time again over 10 mins…if one is to time it by looking closly at the video….seems was a spank every 2 or 3 seconds..if not perhaps faster….so 10 mins is 600 seconds divided by 3 would be 200 spanks posibly as many as 300 spanks
yet with 200 to 300 spanks given so hard as to cause heavy welts all over…..no one heard neither the sound of these spanks…..neither did anyone hear her crys or screems or ohhs (i highly doubt she could have taken such a spanking in silence)
oh well
i suppose now she will enjoy the money she got
personally i think
the couple of times mcdonalds was sued because of steeming hot coffee that spilt on customers made more sense
so many things in this happening as shown-seen on the video just makes no sense
November 5th, 2007 at 7:40 pm
This girl is so cute. She is the most beautiful innocent, young, girl I have ever seen. I wish my girlfriend looked like that.
She deserves more than that little money McDonalds has settled on.
If she can produce this kind of video more often, she has a future in the video industry.
Every girl I showed this to said she is a fox!!!
Great Video
Love You Girl

This has to be a scam cooked up by all three of them. Does a call on the other line actually happen? Is there an audio record of this call at the police dept. or anywhere out there? What if all along there never was anyone else on the other line and then they all just played it up in front of the camera while pretending to get a call!
There were over 70 cases of this type of thing happening across America. It would be awfully easy to set this up yourself just to get rich off of McDonalds. I live in a small town too, and I know people here can be great scam artists. (WELFARE and DISABILITY CHECKS) So don’t say that they were just victims from a small town and unaware.
If this story is 100% true than I really feel sorry for the girl and assistant manager involved. They both must have scores on the SAT that wouldn’t add up to beat Forest Gump’s.
I just can’t bring myself to believe people are this stupid.
December 13th, 2007 at 6:41 am
I bet the girl was enjoying it. No Sane person will firstly strip down to be searched by the boss without any lawful person authorizing it. Even if she does, she starts getting spanked.. you’re telling me she’s so dumb to know whatis going on.
If anyone spanked me like that i will cut his old balls out & make him sallow it.
December 21st, 2007 at 9:12 am
Where can I get the uncut version?
December 30th, 2007 at 7:24 am
Personally i think in the beginning she was alarmed at was going on, but i believe after a while she became some what sexually stimulated by being naked and spanked. Even thought, this is what i see in the video . i still think see deserves the money. nobody could be that stupid. you know what i mean……it s the truth1. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 31st, 2007 at 4:50 am
I can not believe all the people here like Echo, Patrick madmax_49 are saying this is a scam. There were a whole load of hoax calls which stopped when they finally arrested the guy. (Shame they could not make the charge stick).
Here in the UK I myself have been a victim of an attempted hoax of someone claiming to be from my ISP and they did come across as being ver convincing. Luckily I am an old sceptic so I got in touch directly with my ISP at great expense and their security section the following day finally confirmed that it was a hoax. Someone who has not encountered scams and urban legends like I have would readily have been taken in.
If anyone has seen the results of the Yale studies in the early 1960’s it is very easy to see why these people would have complied with the voice on the telephone, after all the guy who did the hoax did his homework and did what we call in sceptical circles “Hot Reading”
As for madmax_49, you need to see the video again, an employee did *69 (144 is the UK equivalent) which showed the call did take place, and because of that they were able to ultimatley makee an arrest. Also, by saying the call never took place ignores the actions of Thomas Simms and another male employee who heard the call and refused to go along with the voice. No evidence they were in on a scam on McDonalds!!
If it was a scam, it was a very stupid one, since two of the participants ended up with criminal records and one being sent to jail.
So let me re-iterate, this was not a scam done by Ogborn, Summers and Nix, it was a real hoax. Period.
Ogborn was violated
As for RW comment on why the issue as to why no one heard the physical assault (Sorry but to use a UK expresion, calling a spade a spade, spanking is physical assault), remember busy Friday night, very noisy outside? Also the size of the guy, one suspects adrenaline kicked in with him and the famous red mist hit, which made it brutal.
As for the liability of the McDonalds corporation, I do not know how things work across the pond in the US, but the nearest equivalent legislation I can think of in the UK is the Health and Safety at Work Act. Even if someone is injured, as Miss Ogborn was by Nix, because an employee did not follow the procedures, like Summers, the company is still held liable in a criminal court.
In UK law, at least, McDonalds would still be held liable
However in the US it seems the bean counters don’t want to pay her a single cent, and I suspect they will win on appeal as they will have deeper pockets to go to higher and higher courts until Mis Ogborn runs out of money for legal fees.
One question I do have about the case, after they realised this was a hoax, did they make her wait for the police to arrive before they gave her clothes back, in another article about this it says.
“Ogborn was so cold she was shaking and so stunned that, as Dockery wrapped her in a blanket, she asked if she had show up for work the next morning. ”
In the video it seems she is fully dressed when the supervisors were in panic mode and just before the police arrived.
I would have thought she would have had to wait for the CSI’s to process her, (photograph the injuries), to avoid contaminating the evidence. But then I suppose the surveilance tape may have sufficed?
Since hearing about this case I have now raised a question about it with McDonalds UK on their Q&A site to find out if they have procedures to alert staff to the dangers of hoax calls of this nature. Just in case someone ever tries to be a copy cat.
December 31st, 2007 at 3:11 pm
This is truley horific, the evilness of all three is both discusting and terrifying. I’ve always mused on the general populace’s tendancy to behave like sheep, but this was a desperate understatement of how ppl can so easily and willingly be manipulated.
I used to work at McDonald’s, and although alot of what is said about working ‘by the book’ is true, what really sets apart the 9-5 worker and the best of the staff, is thinking outside of the box - free thinking.
Sure I know what I’d have done, gone in there and wrapped that poor girl multiple aprons before disconnecting the phone and if required taking out the manager and helpers and informing police via emergency services.
To the commentators above, you have no idea what fear can do to a person, some go awol while others are paralysyed. She looks complicit in certain shots, as part of the stepping up process that lead to that situation - she has no clothes, what do you think shes going to do??? Provoke any situation where she’s seen or worse touched by the guy in an attempt to restrain her?? No of course not, she’s just trying to get-by with the least interferrence before the ordeal ends.
Personally I think McDonald’s responsibility ends at the point at which they have to ensure a safe working environment for staff, and install managers capable of safeguarding the key business values. Having to actually tell managers not to allow non vetted members of the public detain/question staff and not to act upon prank calls and not to perform strip searches etc, just smacks of the ‘HOT WATER’ warning on hot drink cups (even that has some sense, as hot cup that was very recently filled will have a cold outside).
The girl deserves the payout, the manager however should not have got a dime.
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:32 pm
I would not call Summers evil,
Naive, gullible, easily lead slow on the uptake, maybe
The evil ones were Nix possibly and the caller definitely
According to one report Louise thought she was a victim as well.
In terms of culpability, the first guy who refused to go along with it should have been a bit more explicit when he realised it was BS, but somehow Summers missed it. How come he did not realise it was still ongoing
January 3rd, 2008 at 5:01 am
BTW 144 is not the equivalent to *69, the evivalent is 1471 sorry for the confusion
February 2nd, 2008 at 6:49 pm
I remember watching this on TV a few years ago and here’s what I thought.
1. These people all deserve darwin awards if they would just kill themselves now.
2. The guy who made the prank phone call should not go to jail. Its not his fault these people are too stupid.
3. The guy who spanked the girl KNEW what he was doing was wrong. Whenever the dumb broad manager would walk in, he would put the towel back on the kid and stop hitting her.
4. I don’t think the manager and that other guy were that stupid. They knew this wasn’t right but they went along with it because human nature is to want to do things that are wrong. And in this case they had an excuse to do it. They could just say “Well he told me to…”
5. The manager and that other guy should go to jail because they knew what they were doing was wrong.
6. That dumb broad is too f-ing STUPID. There is no excuse for any of this. That bitch needs to have her head re-evaluated.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
To all the people saying that the girl is stupid, what the hell? She really had no choice in the matter. Granted, she shouldn’t have stripped naked when they first asked, but she was scared and she trusted those people. Once she’d stripped and her clothes had been removed, what could she do?
The real idiot is Summers, she didn’t question the guy on the phone at all. She went along with everything he said. Summers and Nix deserve to burn in hell.
I really hope Louise can eventually get past this and move on with her life.

I see all the calls went to small bumfugged egypt towns.Im not sure what town she was in but maybe the gene poll is a little low on water..amazes me at how dumb these people are

She deserved to be spanked for being so stupid.
I think they all got a sexual thrill from the situation, especially louise.
She should stop whining shes only succeeded in publicising her own humiliation. Well maybe she enjoys that too.
