Practice What You Preach.

Lawyer/employer who said he “handled sexual harassment cases, representing both plaintiffs and defendants, and had taught seminars on sexual harassment” was sued for sexual discrimination by an employee of law firm.  Some evidence related to harassing activity outside the plaintiff’s presence.  The trial court excluded the “ME TOO” evidence.  The jury found for the defense and the Court of Appeal reversed, concluding the trial court erred because evidence other women were harassed could have assisted the jury by showing discriminatory intent.  Pantoja v. Anton (Cal. App. Fifth Dist.; August 9, 2011) 198 Cal.App.4th 87, [129 Cal.Rptr.3d 384].
