Assistant Harassment
Las Cruces, NM: (Feb-08-08) Wyla Green brought a lawsuit against the city, accusing David King, a member of the state Public Regulation Commission, of sexually harassing her. Green originally filed a grievance against King in November 2003, accusing him of sexual harassment. She was fired the following March for allegedly falsifying time sheets, using her state cell phone for personal calls, and tardiness. She sued in state district court, alleging violations of the Human Rights Act and seeking damages. Records show that a jury found that David King had harassed Green and that he, the commission and Patrick Baca, the commission's former chief of staff, retaliated against her because of her allegations.
Apart from that, the jury also found that King invaded Green's privacy and defamed his former assistant while she was employed at the commission. Sources close to the case stated that the parties had agreed to resolve the dispute by entering into a settlement agreement. Under the agreement, a state district court jury in Santa Fe on Nov. 26, 2007 awarded $841,842 to Wyla Green. [LAS CRUCES SUN: ASSISTANT HARASSMENT]
