SCRANTON – Schuylkill County officials are looking to dismiss a sprawling sexual harassment lawsuit brought against them by four anonymous County employees, claiming the plaintiffs did not seek proper authorization to proceed under an anonymous designation.
Jane Does 1-4 first filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on March 16 versus the Schuylkill County Courthouse, Schuylkill County Commissioner George Halcovage, Assistant County Solicitor and Risk Manager Glenn Roth, County Administrator Gary Bender, interim Human Resources Director Doreen Kutzler and current Human Resources Director Heidi Zula, all of Pottsville.
The four unnamed plaintiffs were all Schuylkill County employees, who alleged Halcovage told them that in order to get raises or promotions, they had to change their political party to Republican.
