Attorney General wants Wyoming Military Department sexual harassment lawsuit dismissed
CASPER, Wyo. — The Wyoming Attorney General’s office wants a judge to dismiss a sexual harassment lawsuit against the state Military Department.
The Justice Department filed suit against the Wyoming Military Department in March, alleging it failed to protect a female worker who reported being sexually harassed by her immediate supervisor.
The Attorney General’s office, which is representing the military, asserts the woman did not effectively prove her boss created a hostile work environment. Nevertheless, counsel also argued, the Justice Department filed the woman’s claim outside the statute of limitations for civil cases.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S District Court for Wyoming, alleges the woman suffered sexual harassment regularly from her boss, the former director of the Wyoming Military Department’s Youth Challenge program, Don Smith.
