The Colony, TX – After an investigation of alleged sexual harassment against The Colony’s development services director ended because the accuser recanted all his allegations, the city manager revealed the statements and accusations to other public employees.
Donna Bateman, the accused in the harassment claim, reported to department directors her concerns that the city manager had violated federal law and engaged in criminal conduct by revealing the details of the investigation. Shortly after voicing her concerns, Bateman was terminated.
Bateman has now filed a lawsuit against the city of The Colony, claiming she was terminated for reporting the criminal conduct, a violation of Texas law. Bateman is seeking reinstatement to her former position, compensation for lost wages, reinstatement of fringe benefits and seniority rights, along with actual damages, court costs and attorney’s fees.
