Justice Department Settles Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
The Justice Department announced a $350,000 settlement to resolve a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment of female borrowers and loan applicants by a former vice president of the First National Bank of Pontotoc in Mississippi. The lawsuit was the first sexual harassment case brought by the Justice Department under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The lawsuit, filed in 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, alleged that William W. Anderson Jr., used his position as a vice president, loan officer, and branch manager of the First National Bank of Pontotoc to sexually harass women in violation of both the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act. Anderson’s conduct included making offensive comments, engaging in unwanted sexual touching, and requesting or demanding sexual favors from female customers in connection with the extension of credit, over a period of years before his employment with the bank ended in May 2004.

Sexual harassment lawsuit slams radio station boss
The boss at the city's most progressive radio station, WBAI, has been slapped with a sexual harassment suit by a deejay who claims he gave her a sexually transmitted disease. Andrea Clarke, host of WBAI's "Sister From Another Planet" program, contends interim general manager Robert Scott Adams is a boozer and cocaine abuser who was bent on bedding her from the moment he met her. In her first meeting with Adams in November 2006, he became sexually aroused and told her he was "not usually a breast man, but loved hers," Clarke quotes Adams in her sensational lawsuit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court. Adams could not be reached for comment last night. Despite Adams' promises not to demote her, Clarke's hours at the radio station were cut in half on Nov. 30, 2006. She continues to host her Friday night show.

The court held that consequences other than termination or demotion, such as a transfer, a failure to invite the complainant to an important meeting, placing the complainant on probation, and/or reducing the complainant's responsibilities may be the basis for an "adverse employment action" that may result in a finding of retaliation....read story here
NOV-19-07: Federal Government sues Grimmway Farms and labor contractor for sexual harassment The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is suing carrot giant Grimmway Farms and labor contractor Esparza Enterprises for sexual harassment against female employees. EEOC claims a Grimmway supervisor exposed himself to a female worker and requested sex. "The supervisor took off his clothes, attempted to molest her early in her employment prepositioning for sex," said William Tamayo, Regional Attorney for EEOC. Tamayo said the employee was fired after she complained about the supervisor. And he says, at least three other female employees were also harassed at Grimmway. "We believe that once more women find out about this lawsuit, they will come forward and tell their story because this was a relatively high level manager," said Tamayo. Grimmway is one of the largest private employers in the Central Valley with about seven thousand employees. Company attorney Jeff Green denied the allegations and says the company does not tolerate sexual harassment. "We have a very aggressive sexual harassment policy prohibiting sexual harassment and we aggressively investigate and pursue any claim of sexual harassment," said Green. The lawsuit asks for back pay plus interest for the workers as well as compulsory and punitive damages. No trial date has yet been set. ...read story here OCT-10-07: A former assistant golf pro has filed a harassment lawsuit against Egypt Valley Country Club demanding his job back and and more than $100,000 in damages.
