Female LAPD Officer Details Sexual Harassment and Discrimination in Lawsuit
A Los Angeles police officer is suing the city, alleging she was subjected to sexual harassment and belittled as a woman, eventually forcing her out of a coveted position working with the homeless.
Brenda Nix’s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit also alleges discrimination and retaliation. She seeks unspecified damages in the suit filed Nov. 2.
“Plaintiff’s male subordinates shunned her, treated her with disrespect and were regularly insubordinate,” the suit alleges.
A representative for the City Attorney’s Office could not be immediately reached for comment Sunday.
