Fleur McKendell is charging sexist and racist behavior by the Delaware state insurance commissioner and his appointees.
WBOC reports that the 38-year-old manager in the state insurance department claimed that she experienced unwanted comments and touching State Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro and his subordinates.
She said that not only did she experience comments about her clothing but also unwanted touching of her hands and hair.
In addition, she claims that she experienced retaliation resulting in a hostile work environment.
The television station reports that Navarro declined to directly comment on the allegation citing personnel issues.
But in his email to WBOC he said her allegation were “gross misstatements”.
He added that he looks forward to dealing with these issues in a court of law.
