Twelve female officers initially filed sex discrimination charges with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2021.
A $2 million settlement with the Mobile County sheriff over sexual harassment claims filed by female corrections officers has been provisionally approved in U.S. District Court, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Monday.
The lawsuit also said the sheriff’s office, under former sheriff Sam Cochran, “failed to take prompt and effective action to remedy this harassing conduct as required by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” The DOJ originally announced the settlement on April 24, but at the time Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch said his department had not agreed to all the provisions of the proposed agreement.“The Justice Department brought this litigation to bring an end to the hostile work environment faced by women employed at the Mobile County Metro Jail,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
