TAMPA PERSONAL INJURY BLOG: New Port Richey Man Wins Sexual Harassment Suit Versus Golden Corral
Calvin Young, a 40-year-old New Port Richey man, successfully won an $85,000 sexual harassment verdict against Golden Corral filing the suit under Florida’s Whistle-blower’s Act which protects employees who are fired for reporting something unlawful in the workplace. In Young’s case he claimed he was fired for reporting sexual harassment on the job by two fellow employees who are gay males. (read more)
In 2006 Young alleged that the two employees pestered him on an almost-daily basis with lewd remarks. He also claimed they pressed up against him from the front and back. After complaining to two managers, Young said nothing was ever done. He then claimed he was fired for as retaliation for the complaints. The jury sided with Young on all three counts. Three other cases are still pending that were filed by Young’s co-workers.
