LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A longtime Los Angeles County prosecutor is suing the county, alleging she was repeatedly harassed and denied promotions by individuals within the office she believed were trying to destroy her career.
Deputy District Attorney Linda Baek's Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit alleges gender discrimination, retaliation, disability discrimination and failure to prevent harassment, discrimination and retaliation.
Baek seeks unspecified damages in the suit brought Monday. A representative for the District Attorney's Office declined to comment on the suit.
“The facts in this case stem from a coordinated pattern of continuing violations that began when Ms. Baek complained of sexual harassment by a co-worker in 2014,'' the suit states.
