NEW YORK A U.S. District Court judge has asked former Dentsu cd Steve Biegel for more information to support his allegations of sexual harassment against the agency.
However, the judge also said Dentsu’s motion to dismiss many of the claims made in a sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit Biegel filed last October would be denied.
In a Jan. 7 letter to both sides’ counsel, Judge Colleen McMahon cited Dentsu’s right to a viable Faragher-Ellereth defense. Named for two Supreme Court decisions, Faragher-Ellereth is termed an “affirmative defense” in which Dentsu can argue it had an adequate sexual harassment policy in place.
