Sexual Harassment Lawyer Blawg
A young woman has filed a Complaint in federal court alleging that she was sexually and racially harassed by an older man while she worked as a cashier at the CVS in Port Jefferson, New York, beginning in August of 2021. The following allegations are taken from the filed Complaint.
Her harasser, a CVS employee, touched her breast, lured her into a back room and cornered her, told her he knew spots where there were no security cameras and implied he could do whatever he wanted to her.
By February 2022 she had told Human Resources what the man was doing to her including that he had touched her breast. But CVS kept scheduling her for shifts alone with him, and he kept doing the same things, even while other people were there. She tried again to stop him, this time complaining to her supervisor in the store, but it still didn’t stop.
By June the young woman’s father came to pick her up on a night when she was scheduled to work alone with the harasser.
When he saw the man come out of the store, her dad confronted him, saying:
You like saying inappropriate things to young girls, huh? She has a father.
The harasser immediately transferred to a different CVS store—without facing any consequences for what he had done.
