In June 2002, the Detroit District Office of the EEOC brought this lawsuit against The Reed Group, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan alleging discrimination on the basis of sex in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant subjected the charging party, a female employee, to a sexually hostile work environment consisting of unwelcome sexual comments, offensive remarks with sexual overtones, unwanted touching, sexually explicit phone calls on cell and house phone, and constructive discharged from employment. The defendant did not appear in the case, and the EEOC received entry of a default judgment in November 2002. The default judgment, made in January of 2003, required the defendant to pay $73,878.04 plus costs.
