3 women win $1M in Nassau sex harassment lawsuit

November 17, 2008

Three female former Nassau police detectives have won a $1-million verdict in a federal lawsuit accusing the department of rampant sexual harassment and discrimination, their attorney said yesterday.

The jury verdict against the county was reached late Friday after a six-week trial in U.S. District Court in Central Islip, said Rick Ostrove, the attorney for the three women.

A news conference is scheduled today in Mineola to announce the verdict. A spokeswoman for the county could not be reached for comment yesterday.

In 2006, the female employees accused more than a dozen male employees – including several high-ranking officers – of posting pornography in a precinct house, making lewd remarks and disobeying orders from women, according to two federal lawsuits and a federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint.
