Mid Hudson News on Lawsuit Against the Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse

The recent lawsuit filed by Senior Associate Alex Berke on behalf of former Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse (CPCA) employee Christina Tuttle against the agency, its former Executive Director Kimberly Haight, and the board of directors has been making headlines in Poughkeepsie. Tuttle has alleged sexual harassment by a former co-worker, Nicholas Colon, lack of investigation into Tuttle’s complaints, and retaliation by Haight after Tuttle reported the harassment to the board.

The lawsuit raises important questions about workplace culture and the responsibility of employers to address sexual harassment.
