Alarming Complaints of Sexual Harassment

Alarming Complaints of Sexual Harassment

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (CN) - One of two employees who sued a county jail director for "outrageous" sexual harassment claims in Federal Court that he forced her to give him oral sex and she had to bite his penis to escape.
The two women sued Tuscaloosa County and Tuscaloosa County Community Corrections Director Daniel Louis Boisot, individually and in his official capacity.

The women say that Boisot "groped, assaulted, intimidated, harassed, threatened, and exposed his genitals" to them at work.

...
Boatner, who cut hair before she worked for the corrections department, claims that Boisot insisted that she give him a haircut in his office. She says she asked plaintiff Skelton to go with her "because she did not feel safe alone with Boisot."

The complaint states: "When the haircut was finished, Boisot told Mrs. Skelton to leave his office and close the door. Boisot insisted on paying for the haircut but Ms. Boatner responded that it was unnecessary. Boisot replied, 'If I go to the mall to cut my hair, I would need to pay.' Boisot then grabbed her, pulled her down, and said, 'I'm going to pay you with this.' Boisot held Ms. Boatner down and forced her to straddle him. Ms. Boatner pulled away and then Boisot snatched her and picked her up. Boisot unzipped his pants and exposed himself to Ms. Boatner. Boisot exclaimed, 'This is what you do to me [referring to his penis].' Boisot was attempting to get Ms. Boatner to perform oral sex upon him. Ms. Boatner was shocked and cried, 'Oh my god, I don't know what to say.' Boisot countered, 'You don't have to say anything. I just want you to know what you will do to me.'" (Brackets in complaint.)

And possibly rape, depending on how the state's laws are written.

Rapists don't deserve trials. ACCUSED rapists deserve trials.
