Second Female Prosecutor Wins Harassment Lawsuit Against County Over OC District Attorney (R) Conduct

A second female prosecutor won a multimillion dollar judgement today, after a jury found she faced retaliation from Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer and other top prosecutors when she reported sexual harassment within his own office.

That’s on top of two other women who worked at the DA’s office who settled pending lawsuits last year with the county for a total of $1.3 million across both cases – alleging Spitzer retaliated against them.

And there’s another four similar workplace harassment lawsuits still making their way through the legal system and expected to play out publicly this year.

The most recent jury case is triggering all sorts of hard questions for Spitzer, who in turn is pointing fingers at the county’s top lawyer for missteps.
