Sexual Harassment by a cop.

Once again we have a another great example of officers in Palm Peach County Sheriff's department. Let me make it clear that I do not think this story represents all police officers. However I think it is important To hold our police officers more accountable for their actions. I want all of my followers to comment on the story I dug up from the palm beach post. I would love to know how everybody feels about sexual harassment by a police officer.

The Hurricane Grill and Wings in Royal Palm Beach repeatedly allowed a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy to sexually harass waitresses and proposition them to have threesomes, according to a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued the Hurricane Grill and Wings, 11071 Southern Blvd., owned by Donald Michael Galbraith of Palm City, alleging the restaurant engaged in unlawful employment practices by subjecting employees to a hostile work environment. According to the complaint, starting in April of 2009, deputy Commodore Bradford repeatedly made comments to female waitresses about their breasts when he was a frequent customer at the restaurant. He also asked at least one waitress, identified in the lawsuit as Stacy Sorenson, "when are we gonna bang." The lawsuit alleges that he would call waitresses over to his table and show them sexually explicit photos of himself and his wife. Bradford would then try to get them to have threesomes with him and his wife and follow them around the restaurant with his camera phone trying to take pictures of their breasts, according to allegations in the lawsuit.
Officials with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Bradford, 57, is working as a deputy in the West Boynton Beach District 6 substation. He declined to comment. According to the complaint, Sorenson and other waitresses told managers and Galbraith several times about Bradford's actions, but nothing was ever done to stop the harassment. The federal agency also claims that after the restaurant's managers learned that Sorenson was planning legal action, she was fired in retaliation in March 2010. She could not be reached for comment. Robert Weisberg, regional attorney for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said civil rights laws require an employer to maintain a safe working environment free of sexual harassment, including preventing harassment of employees by customers. "Management had been made aware, and they didn't take action," Weisberg said. "Management let it happen." The suit seeks back pay and punitive damages for the waitresses though no amounts are specified. Calls to the restaurant were referred to Galbraith, who did not return calls seeking comment. It was unclear if Galbraith had been served with the suit yet, and no attorney for the defense was listed in the complaint. Weisberg said the federal agency only has jurisdiction to sue employers on behalf of employees, not customers. Hurricane Grill and Wings is a franchise chain founded in 1995 in Fort Pierce. Now based in West Palm Beach, the chain has at least 42 locations in seven states and is quickly growing across the country.
