A colleague of a Philadelphia police officer was sued for removing his pants multiple times.
According to the lawsuit, Jose Dones would disrobe near his colleagues instead of in the bathroom.
Kelly Neal's attorneys claimed that she was sexually harassed at her job.
A Philadelphia police officer is being sued for sexual discrimination and creating a hostile work environment for taking off his pants multiple times.
The city of Philadelphia and Officer Jose Dones are named in a lawsuit. The Philadelphia Police Department has two officers working for it. It was first reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
According to the complaint, Dones removed his pants, directly behind and beside Neal, and stood in the open office of the 26th District in his boxer shorts, instead of using the locker room or bathroom.
Several women officers complained to their superiors about the behavior in front of Neal. There are videos taken by Neal that show Dones moving his pants and exposing himself in front of Neal.
The lawsuit says Dones tried to remove his underwear from his butt at the start of the video. At the beginning of the video, Dones pulls another pair of pants over his underwear, puts his shirt over his stomach, and buttons his pants.
The lawsuit claims Dones pulled his pants over his underwear while answering a phone call, as well as another incident in which a different officer walked by and saw Dones trying to open the office fridge.
The complaints made to her superiors were ignored. $150,000 in relief and a trial by jury were demanded by her attorneys.
Neal's attorney told the Inquirer that they would take the case to a jury. When asked for comment, Corcoran did not reply.
In court documents, Dones' attorney said that her client did not act with malicious intent and that the video evidence was taken without Dones' knowledge or consent. Velez and the Philadelphia Police Department did not reply to Insider's request.
