The Defendant was Independent Realty Capital Corp., a national mortgage lender. The controversy involved alleged sexual harassment and retaliatory discharge of two female employees in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The lawsuit was filed in August 2004 and was resolved by consent decree in February 2006. The complainants, who did not intervene in the case, were awarded a total of $62,500. In addition, the company was required to provide training, to post a Notice, and to adopt a complaint procedure. It was also prohibited from employing the alleged perpetrator. The decree was to last for two years. The docket sheet shows that no further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008. Kevin Wilemon - 08/10/2007 - 06/07/2017 compress summary
