The U.S Justice Department filed a lawsuit against a Washtenaw County commissioner and a man who managed his rental units in Ypsilanti for subjecting female tenants to unwanted sexual advances.
Filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit, the lawsuit states that property manager Glen E. Johnson had been subjecting actual and prospective female tenants to unwanted sexual advances since 2005 at 11 single family properties owned by County Commissioner Ronnie Peterson.
Allegedly, Johnson entered the apartments of female tenants without their permission or advance notice and took adverse action against them if they objected to his advances.
The suit further alleges that Peterson who has been county commissioner since 2001 is responsible for Jonhson's conduct on account of the fact that he was not aware of the discriminatory conduct and because he failed to take preventive or corrective action.
