The Story Behind The Case

She was harassed on the basis of her race, gender, age, and retaliation. The acts of the defendants created a hostile working environment and caused her emotional and physical damages. Plaintiff was retaliated against for reporting the harassment. EXPERTS: Laura Brown, PH.D for Plaintiff and Russell Vandenbelt, PH.D.
