Case Details

In Raker v. Bar-BQ Pit, Inc. 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 167792 (E. D. Pa. November 25, 2013) (Stengel, J.), the Plaintiff employee, represented by Jeffrey Elliott, worked as a full-time server for the defendant restaurant for 9 months. She was subjected to a hostile work environment throughout her employment due to the constant sexual harassment of the restaurant’s owner whose conduct included unwelcomed touching and kissing, inappropriate comments, and invitations for sexual encounters. Plaintiff repeatedly reported these behaviors to the managers of the restaurant and nothing was done to stop the behavior. Plaintiff’s work hours were gradually reduced in retaliation. The court found that the Plaintiff established a prima facie case of employment discrimination based on her gender, retaliation, a sexually hostile work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The award included lost wages, emotional distress, attorneys’ fees and costs.
