Our 31-year-old female Plaintiff, formerly an employee of the Village of McCook, alleged that she was physically and sexually battered by a vendor for McCook while at an event that was related to her employment, and that the Village and its agents retaliated against her after she reported the abuse, forcing her to leave her position. The case was settled for $500,000.
