In an unusual turn of events, a senior federal judge in Boston is expected to testify in a sexual harassment case involving the city’s health department. The decision arrived from a state court as part of a case brought forward by a former city employee. The employee alleges that she was sexually harassed by an ex-director of the city’s health department.
Working through the complexities of this case, the court gave approval for the senior federal judge to be called upon as a witness. This development underscores the significance of a prior conversation between the judge and the former city employee. This conversation took place months before the employee lodged her complaint of harassment.
