I swear if you laugh at the title or this story you are going straight to hell. A quadriplegic attorney who has sued more than a thousand small businesses for violating the rights of disabled Americans is now being sued himself for sexual harassment. Click below to read the rest of the story.
Four former legal assistants of Sacramento, Calif.-based attorney Scott Johnson claim they were fired or forced out of their jobs for finally complaining about their work environment, court documents reveal.
The plaintiffs, Jenna Doeuk, Esra Jones, Monthica Kem and Micaela Lucas, say they were forced to dress and undress their boss, place him in swim trunks and then into a hot tub and rub lotion on his body. They say he also looked at the in a sexually suggestive manner.
The complaint says the women were also required to complete “personal care” training in which they were forced “to touch Johnson and see his genitals.”
The women were “uncomfortable but they were afraid to complain because they thought they would be retaliated against,” the lawsuit said.
When it came to hiring new staff, Doeuk said she was under instructions from Johnson not to interview “men, ugly women and anyone over 30.”
Federal equal employment opportunity laws prohibit workplace discrimination based on gender or age.
Johnson told the Daily News he did not care to comment on the lawsuit.
The attorney, who ended up in a wheelchair after being hit by a drunk driver in 1981, has sued scores of restaurants, stores and small businesses around the Sacramento area for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.
