A $2 Million Settlement Has Been Reached in a Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Against an Alabama County Sheriff’s Office

A federal judge on Tuesday formally entered a $2.02 million settlement ending a sexual harassment lawsuit against the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office.

The suit began with an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint alleging that supervisors failed to take steps to protect female corrections officers from severe and repeated sexual harassment inflicted by male prisoners at Mobile County Metro Jail

U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose approved the settlement this month.
