Former Employee Files a Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Against California Senator Bob Archuleta
A former employee of California Sen. Bob Archuleta has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the Pico Rivera Democrat and the state Senate, The Sacramento Bee reported.
The former employee is referred to as “Jane Doe” in the lawsuit, which was filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. She began working for the Legislature in 2006 and worked for Archuleta for 1½ years before leaving in September 2020.
The lawsuit claims Archuleta made inappropriate comments about her breasts, spoke to her about affairs he had and publicly reprimanded and embarrassed her.
The lawsuit claims she experienced workplace discrimination and retaliation after refusing his advances and had to resign after she complained of sexual harassment to a superior.
