Questionable Defense in Sexual Harassment Trial Stirs Skepticism from Federal Judge

As the recent sexual harassment trial comes to a close, a Massachusetts federal judge expressed skepticism about the veracity of the defense’s arguments. The trial involves a former federal defender for North Carolina’s Western District, who allegedly exhibited hostility towards an attorney claiming she was forced out of her position due to sexual harassment. His doubt centers around whether this alleged hostility and the subsequent remedy sought by the attorney was due to gender bias. (Law360)
