This headline is a little misleading – yes, it’s true that the entire Legislature, plus the former Senate President and several legislative employees, are being sued by a legislative aide.  But the alleged harasser is a single co-worker, who the aide alleges repeatedly sexually harassed her over the course of several years.

According to The St. Thomas Source, despite being told by the aide that his behavior was unwanted, the co-worker allegedly propositioned her many time, left inappropriate and demeaning phone messages, told her “you look sexy when you vex,” and “leaned in inappropriately close.”

The aide claims in her suit that “Because defendant Legislature allowed the hostile work environment to exist unchecked, it created an intolerable working environment,” and also retaliated against her by “poorly drafting bills assigned to Sen. Malone [for whom she was an aide].”

Takeaway?  None, really.  Just thought that the word “vex” merited a post.
