Natasha Meeks was the manager of an automobile part store who sued her former employer and manager for sexual harassment and other wrongdoing under FEHA. The jury returned a verdict for defendants. MLG appealed and won the right to a new trial based on the trial court’s harmful evidentiary rulings. This published decision is one of the leading “me-too” decisions in California allowing plaintiffs suing for sexual harassment to present evidence of sexual harassment of nonparty employees by the same alleged harasser outside the plaintiff’s presence.
The California Supreme Court denied defendants’ petition for review.
