"A former Orange County prosecutor alleges she was sexually harassed by a supervisor and retaliated against by superiors during her time at the Orange County district attorney's office, according to a recently filed lawsuit. The legal action, filed last week in Orange County Superior Court, is the latest in a series of workplace lawsuits filed against Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer and his office, some of which have already been settled for millions of dollars and resulted in court rulings against Spitzer and his staff."
"The former prosecutor, identified in court filings as Jane Doe, alleges she received repeated unwanted advances and sexually suggestive texts from a supervisor, was passed over for promotions, and unfairly became the subject of a disciplinary investigation when she took her complaints to the human resources department. The former deputy district attorney also alleges she initially decided not to report her treatment out of fear she'd be targeted. "She was expected to remain silent, avoid drawing attention, and endure mistreatment or face retaliatory punishment," the lawsuit said."
A former Orange County prosecutor identified as Jane Doe alleges sexual harassment by a supervisor and retaliation by superiors at the Orange County district attorney's office. The lawsuit filed in Orange County Superior Court claims repeated unwanted advances and sexually suggestive texts from supervisor Jess Rodriguez beginning in April 2023. The complaint alleges Rodriguez entered her office to discuss his sex life and sent messages asking what she was wearing, including "Gimme something to have sweet dreams about tonight." The suit alleges she was passed over for promotions and faced a disciplinary investigation after reporting to human resources.
