Washington State Settles Sexual Harassment Lawsuit For $375,000

Washington state will pay $375,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit. The sexual harassment lawsuit came after a security guard at a juvenile-detention center raped a female who was incarcerated. According to published accounts the woman was 19 and serving time for various offenses. As a result of the lawsuit and the female coming forward the guard was arrested and convicted of custodial sexual misconduct.

"It was kind of an ugly, brutal, disgusting rape," said Jack Connelly, one of the woman's attorneys.
