Sexual Harassment
Confidential RECOVERY
In this case, a one-time township employee claimed she was sexually harassed by the former township building inspector for six years. The alleged abuse started in March 2005 when she worked as a housing inspector for the township building department. Plaintiff protested the defendant’s actions, but continued to be harassed up to the point where she filed the complaint in 2011.
The Confidential settlement was approved at a council meeting. Since the township’s insurance carrier defended the township in the case, the insurance carrier will pay for most of the settlement while the town will be responsible for $65,000, which included $5,000 in lost wages.
