A sexual harassment lawsuit filed against a former Stone County deputy sheriff will be allowed to continue, thanks to a ruling by a federal judge.
Judge Fernando Gaitan, in a ruling filed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, denied former deputy Michael Blumenthal's request to have the case tossed out of court, saying "genuine issues of material fact remain." Blumenthal, who was found not guilty by a Dade County jury earlier this year in charges related to the same incident, said "no reasonable juror would find
in favor of plaintiff (Michelle Davis) because she has no witnesses who can corroborate her claims of sexual harassment."
More information about the case can be found in the Dec. 26, 2005, Turner Report.
