Partners Leslie Levy and Sharon Vinick filed suit on behalf of a woman working to provide services for homeless adults. The employee, as well as some female clients, were sexually harassed by her co-worker. Despite the employee’s report of the illegal behavior no action was taken against the harasser. Instead, the employer transferred her to another facility and demoted her. The claims included sexual harassment, retaliation, and failure to take all reasonable steps to prevent harassment. The matter settled with the woman returning to her prior job title and duties, an investigation into the harassment complaints, transfer of the harasser and a near six figure settlement.
