Female Police Officer in Pennsylvania Sues for Harassment and Discrimination

A female police officer in Mount Oliver, PA has sued the police department there for sexual harassment, sex discrimination, and other claims. She was the only female officer on the force in Mount Oliver. The lawsuit alleges that this officer was bullied and sexually harassed for years. She alleges she was barged in the bathroom by a male officer, and the department refused to put a working lock on the door to prevent this from happening. She alleges that instead of putting a lock on the bathroom door as requested (so they wouldn't keep catching her with her pants down), they assigned her to clean the bathrooms. You know, because lady cops are really just maids. There are many other allegations too, but I thought the bathroom-barging was interesting. She must not have been doing a good enough job cleaning the toilets, because they allegedly denied her promotions and ultimately fired her after that. Wow, tough place to be a lady cop.
