UT supervisors did not know of Cleve Bryant's sexual harrassment

by Administrator 8. March 2012 07:36

An investigation into sexual harrassment charges against associate athletic director, Cleve Bryant, showed that other athletic supervisors did not know of the allegations beforehand.

According to records into the case, the young woman, who worked under Bryant as an administrative assitant,  received inappropriate text messages and comments, touching and a kiss over a two year period before she reported Bryant because she feared she would lose her job.

Bryant was fired last March and it has been stated now that other supervisors were unaware that this was happening. Other colleagues were told by the woman, but she instructed them to keep it confidential, so the other colleagues did not inform their superiors. Last year, the university paid $400,000 to the woman who filed the complaint.

If you or a loved one has faced sexual harrassment at the workplace, you need representation on your side. Contact the Houston sexual harrassment lawyers of the Ross Law Group by calling 713-482-6910 today.

Last month, a lawsuit was filed against UT Health Houston by a former employee.  In the lawsuit, the employee says that she was subjected to sexual harassment from a coworker and was terminated after reporting the unlawful behavior.

In addition to accusing the woman's employer of sexual harassment retaliation, the lawsuit accuses UT Health Houston of inflicting emotional distress.  The coworker who was harassing the plaintiff is also named as a defendant in the employment lawsuit.

According to the suit, the woman was subjected to inappropriate touching and unwated sexual advances while working for UT Health Houston.  After telling her manager, the woman's hours were cut and she was given impossible assignments.  Later, the employee told a UT Health employee about the harassment and she was escorted from her work by police and terminated.

Teen alleges sexual harassment at KFC in Sherman

by Administrator 3. August 2011 06:43

A young woman recently filed suit against a Kentucky Fried Chicken fast-food joint in Sherman alleging she was subjected to sexual harassment and gender discrimination by a co-worker.  According to the lawsuit, the company was negligent in failing to take action against the co-worker after the harassment was reported.

The woman worked at the KFC from June 2009 through September 2009 at the age of 17-years old.  She describes the harassment she suffered in her place of employment as both verbal and sexual.  Both the teen and her father went to management about the harassment but no action was taken against the co-worker.

After reporting the harassment and returning to work, the 17-year old saw the harassing co-worker's vehicle outside the restaurant and had no choice but to terminate her employment.  The lawsuit seeks damages for emotional distress, mental anguish, lost wages, and more.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of sexual harassment in the workplace and was forced to terminate their employment, contact the Houston constructive discharge attorneys of Ross Law Group at 800-634-8042 to learn more about your rights.
