On April 12, 2021, the New Jersey District Court for the District of New Jersey in Spence v. New Jersey, et al., granted in part and denied in part a motion to dismiss an employee’s sexual harassment and retaliation claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD). The employee claimed she was sexually harassed by her co-worker and that her supervisors took retaliatory action against her for reporting the alleged sexual harassment. The District Court found that the employee failed to sufficiently plead her sexual harassment claim for lack of pervasive harassment, and in part failed to sufficiently plead her retaliation claim for lack of temporal proximity.

NJ Must Face Judicial Clerk s Sexual Harassment Suit
Law360 (April 12, 2021, 11:02 PM EDT) A New Jersey federal judge on Monday dismissed the majority of a sexual harassment suit brought by a judicial clerk against the Garden State and state officials, but left intact a retaliation claim and allowed the clerk to amend portions of her suit and try again.
In a 32-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Noel L. Hillman preserved Natalie Spence s retaliation claim that was based on a negative career progress report she said she received after telling her supervisors that a co-worker was sexually harassing her.
