Report: Tampa Bay Lightning Sued for Sexual Assault
The Tampa Bay Lightning organisation has gotten themselves into hot water recently.
The Tampa Bay Times have reported that a 23-year old woman is filing a lawsuit against Tampa Bay Sports and Entertainment. She alleges that she had been "subjected to disparate, discriminatory, and harassing treatment based on her sex."
The woman was a youth ice hockey coach working for the Tampa Bay Lightning. She singles out a man named Aaron Humphrey, who is a community hockey coordinator for the Lightning and an associate coach for the University of South Florida. She claims that he had repeatedly been sexually harassing and assaulting her between March and June of 2018.
She also claims that she was scrutinized for her performance at work, overlooked for promotion opportunities, and punished for actions that she considered to be common in the workplace. After reporting the incidents to the HR department, she claims that the Lightning did not act on her allegations, and she was fired some time afterwards for "violation in company policy".
The Lightning organisation's policy dictates that they cannot speak about evolving legal situations, and have not commented on this matter yet. To see the full post in the Tampa Bay Times, click here.
