A pair of federal sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuits has been settled by the State of New York for a $1 million. The lawsuits were filed by two former female employees of the Willard Drug Treatment Center in Seneca County who claimed that Lt. Michael Cobb, their supervisor, subjected them repeatedly to unwanted sexual advances. When the women complained about the harassment, they were disciplined.
The State of New York has 120 days to pay $666,667 to one woman and $333,333 to the other. Lt. Cobb is required to pay $1,000 toward the total penalty. The settlements were approved by federal judges of the Western District of New York.
