Alex Berke recently appeared for an interview on News 12 with Blaise Gomez. In the May 11 appearance, she discusses the lawsuit she filed on behalf of her clients which details claims of sexual harassment and retaliation made against the school district and its former superintendent.

"My clients have experienced a lot of things that women who have been sexually harassed at work experience," Alex said. "They were harassed. It was upsetting. It was wrong. It was unlawful. Then, they reported it and rather than being supported through the process, they were retaliated against."
