Re: Paula Jones in 98

If a woman came to me with a similar fact pattern, that is someone in the company above her propositioned her but only once and she suffered no tangible job detriment, Katz said. I would probably tell her that Im sorry, its unfair, but you dont have a case. In a segment on CNNs Talkback Live in 1998, Katz said Joness suit was very, very, very weak. Shes alleged one incident that took place in a hotel room that, by her own testimony, lasted 10 to 12 minutes. She suffered no repercussions in the workplace, she said, according to CNN transcripts.
Regarding Freaky Al Franken
quote:
This is not a Harvey Weinstein situation, said Debra Katz, a civil rights lawyer who handles sexual harassment cases. Harvey Weinstein was a serial predator who used his power to put women in very vulnerable situations. He abused that power by sexually assaulting women. Thats not what this is. Ms. Katz also drew a distinction between Mr. Frankens role as a comedian and that of a senator. Context is relevant, she said. He did not do this as a member of the U.S. Senate. He did this in his capacity of someone who was still functioning as an entertainer.
