CASE TWO

Anita Moss claims that the Loans Officer (Morgan Richman) at the bank where she works continually harasses her. He makes suggestive comments about the way she dresses and tells her repeatedly that she has a great body. One time he took her out for lunch and told her that he often has sexual dreams about her. Lately, he has started to stalk her by parking his vehicle outside her apartment building.

Morgan Richman states he has been happily married for 20 years and has two teenage daughters. He says he and his wife have friends in the same apartment building where Anita lives and he is only visiting his friends. As for the suggestive comments, he claims he never said such things to her. He jokingly states with a grin, “Anita does have a nice body though.” He also adds that Anita does dress provocatively.

The other bank workers say that Mr. Richman is a bit of a jerk to work for, but they have never heard him say bad or suggestive comments to anyone. One worker does recall a time when Anita came back from lunch with Mr. Richman, and she appeared upset. All the workers agree that Anita keeps to herself and isn’t a very friendly co-worker. She never takes her break with the rest of them. One co-worker states that Anita dresses very fashionably.

A former bank employee, Sara, states the reason she left the bank was because Mr. Richman kept harassing her with comments that made her feel uncomfortable. She never made a complaint against him because she needed him as a reference for another job. Mr. Richman says Sara is lying and the real reason she left was for a better job. He doesn’t understand why she is saying these things about him.

You be the judge….
