Leeds Morelli & Brown Will Not Tolerate Sexual Harassment

 Many New York media outlets are reporting that a $600 million dollar sexual harassment suit has been brought against The Hawaiian Tropic Zone, a “restaurant” in Times Square.  The restaurant bills itself as “the hottest place on Earth,” and offers patrons the chance to vote for the favorite waitress clad in nothing but the most revealing bikinis.  Four female employees of The Hawaiian Tropic Zone are alleging that Anthony Rakis, their former boss, subjected them to sexual harassment and assault and their complaints to management went unanswered.
 
No matter what occupation one engages in, even if it involves adult themed entertainment, an employee must be entitled to a harassment free work environment.  No employer has the right to treat an employee in such a manner and there is no excuse for this sort of conduct.  It is important for anyone – male or female - who feel that they have been the victim of sexual harassment to report it as soon as possible to preserve their own rights and the rights of others who may also be subjected to the same treatment. 

When complaints to management go unanswered it may be time to seek legal representation to preserve and defend your rights.  The law firm of Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. has been successfully defending the rights of clients in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Nassau and Suffolk Counties against all forms of discrimination in the work place.
