Here comes the lawsuit

$25million lawsuit by Sylver accuser

From Newsday
"In the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Central Islip, she charges that the county legislature, particularly Minority Leader Peter J. Schmitt (R-Massapequa), "deliberately and publicly disseminated the painfully embarrassing, shocking and stigmatizing details" of her assaults at a legislative hearing to advance partisan political interests."
The woman signed the confidentiality agreement because she did NOT want the situation to be public.
Newsday continues with her lawyer "She was horribly treated and exploited by everybody," Calica said Wednesday. "Her immediate employer was a sexual predator. The county did not redress the wrongs done to her. And then Mr. Schmitt just betrayed her."
Ed "$80,000/yr part-time" Ward tries to defend Schmitt by saying this somehow vindicates Schmitt. and her complaint woul dnever have been made public w/o Schmitt. That's one of the points of the lawsuit!!! Schmitt made public what she did not what to be made public.
Ward says "The clear right thing to do was to direct her to the district attorney or the police department. Instead, they sought confidentiality agreements, promotions and secrecy."
Yes Ed, the right thing to do would have been to bring the woman to the DA instead of forcing her to appear before a legislature hearing and expose her to the public.

So this is now the second multi-million dollar lawsuit against Schmitt.
