KSAT INVESTIGATES: Female maintenance employees at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center were subjected to sexual harassment, sexual assault, battery and verbal abuse by their male supervisors, a lawsuit filed in Bexar County District Court claims.
San Antonio’s city attorney said via email Monday the city will seek to get the suit dismissed.
The comments came weeks after a maintenance crew leader resigned amid accusations he groped two female employees and exposed himself to one of the women in a convention center elevator.The 39-page suit repeatedly mentions KSAT’s previous reporting on the allegations from female employees. Villegas was diagnosed with neck strain and at one point was instructed by her doctor not to lift anything at work over 20 pounds.
Cortez, however, was repeatedly allowed to attend meetings with Villegas, “where he would give her menacing looks and glances in retaliation for her complaints,” the suit claims. The woman spent days at a psychiatric unit last year after attempting to file a complaint with the mayor at city hall about her treatment at work.
