Two incidents. First time my father helped me bring the complaint as the perp was a city employee. Nothing happened. It was suggested that I quit.

Second time I made a noisy stink and walked out. He was the boss. I did make sure that another employee who was having an affair with him knew about it. Pissed her off but she was overpaid for a job she was not good at so she stuck around just for the money. Later he replaced her with a younger woman. He probably did that a few more times. Let me put it another way...the assistant bookkeeper position was actually just his mistress position.
