In April 2001, the San Antonio District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Ray Ramon, Primary Home Health Care Services of South Texas, Inc., South Texas Nursing Care, Inc., and Texas Valley Health Services, Inc. (doing business as Cafe Del Sol) in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. However, it appears from the consent decree that the complaint alleged the defendant subjected one charging party, a female employee, to a sexually hostile work environment consisting of crude and offensive statements, requests for sexual favors, threats of bodily harm, and sexual assault, causing complainant to quit her employment with the defendant. The complainants intervened in the case in September 2001. Following a failed motion by the defendant to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and discovery, the parties settled the lawsuit through a consent decree in August 2002.
The two-year decree, containing a non-discrimination clause, required the defendant to: update its anti-discrimination policies, including creation of reporting mechanisms, post its anti-discrimination policy, provide EEO training to all managers and supervisors for at least four hours, and pay $225,000 to one of the charging parties.
