The lawsuit was filed in August 2020 and claimed Joseph Centanni engaged in 'severe or pervasive sexual harassment' over a span of about 15 years.
The lawsuit was filed in August 2020 and claimed Centanni, 74, of Mountainside, engaged in"severe or pervasive sexual harassment" over a span of around 15 years, violating the Fair Housing Act, which protects tenants from sexual harassment and retaliation from landlords, according to NJ.com. A federal judge must still approve the settlement.
Centanni owned many properties around the city of Elizabeth that accept federal Section 8 housing vouchers, according to the lawsuit. In exchange for helping residents keep their housing or giving rent assistance, he allegedly demanded oral sex. He also allegedly threatened to evict those who denied him.
"The need for housing is a basic human need," said acting U.S. Attorney of the District of New Jersey Rachael A. Honig, NJ.com reported."Joseph Centanni exploited that need, and the important federal programs that attempt to meet it, by threatening to deny his victims a roof over their heads if they did not submit to his demands for sexual acts."
