The city recently settled the lawsuit, agreeing to pay $1.25 million in the sexual harassment case.

Sexual misconduct and sexual harassment cases like this unfortunately occur, and Legal-Bay has been an industry leader in funding these cases pre-settlement, or after a verdict that is on appeal. Unfortunately, these cases can be complex in nature and can often take a lot of time to resolve as they typically involve many intertwined claims starting with wrongful termination, retaliation, whistleblower or qui tam claims, sexual abuse, sexual harassment and/or discrimination.

Chris Janish, CEO, commented on the recent sexual harassment settlement, "The settlement sends a swift message that the NYPD will not accept any sexual misconduct on the force. Cases of this nature can be delayed significantly as the defendants typically fight the allegations vigorously. However, this case turned out to be satisfactory to the plaintiffs and they can now move on with their lives. Unfortunately, not every case goes this way and many plaintiffs are left waiting years without a job or income to pay bills."
