A lawsuit has been filed charging that a Delmar Department failed to act after a complaint that the male colleague placed his hand on a volunteer female colleague’s inner thigh.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that in the suit April Molchan says that when she was captain of emergency medical services in 2015 then-Fire Chief Andrew Rementer did so at a restaurant.  

The suit says she immediately and forcefully told him to remove his hand.  

The suit says despite a second incident that was caught on camera he was allowed to stay on while she was effectively terminated.

The paper reports that efforts to reach Rementer were unsuccessful.
