The City of Las Vegas and its fire department will likely face a sexual harassment lawsuit from a female firefighter who claims a sexually explicit video of her was passed around her co-workers but the partial federal government shutdown has put everything on hold.
Jenny Foley, the attorney representing the female firefighter, said she is poised to file as soon as the political stalemate in Washington, D.C. is resolved.
"It is my understanding the city has concluded its investigation, or nearly done so, my client is going to pursue her rights to sue," said Foley.
"We are at the point where we are about to file suit, but we can't as of yet, because we can't get the letter that we need from the EEOC, because they are shut down," explained Foley.
