DOJ Pays $1.2M to Settle Sexual Harassment Suit Regarding Immigration Judge Scott D. Laurent

Here is the complaint.

Here is the settlement.

"Wendy Musell, who represents Escoto, told Law360 that she believes the judgment acknowledges the harassment and abuse her client faced. Tonette J. Jaramilla, who also represents Escoto, called the award "historic." "The $1.2 million judgment is historic, in that the DOJ is taking public accountability for a federal judge's harassing and retaliatory conduct towards another federal employee, Ms. Escoto," Jaramilla said." - Law360 (subscription)
