Federal civil rights lawsuit against Muskegon County to continue
"The Department of Justice alleges the county violated federal civil rights law by allowing ongoing sexual harassment of a female employee by a male co-worker who was eventually fired, prosecuted and jailed. The government alleges the harassment occurred in the period 1999-2006.
Also Wednesday, Scoville granted a motion by the victim to intervene in the case. Eva Amaya, a former 60th District Court employee, filed her own federal lawsuit against the county in October, alleging the county retaliated against her for complaining in 2006 to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Amaya was terminated from her job last year.
The male employee, Eugene Beene, eventually was fired in 2006 after other women complained about him. Beene later pleaded guilty to attempted fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, based on his behavior at work."
Why the heck is our county fighting this outrage?
They already fired the thug for harassment!
