The highly-anticipated sexual harassment trial involving former federal public defender Caryn Strickland and the judiciary commenced on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. Government attorneys representing the judiciary have dismissed Strickland’s allegations of sexual discrimination as an “ordinary work dispute.”
The Justice Department representatives honed in on an email from Strickland’s superior, the party she accuses of harassment. This communication bore the subject line “mas dinero” (more money in Spanish), and the sender mentioned that he deals with “pay-for-stay.”
