KCNF Partner Heidi Burakiewicz represents a female correctional officer in Lucas County, Ohio

KCNF attorney Heidi Burakiewicz represents a female correctional officer in Lucas County, Ohio, suing the sheriff’s office and commissioners for ongoing harassment by inmates. Among other charges, the lawsuit claims officials did not properly protect female officers and deputies from inmate sexual harassment as they were often required to work gender-specific positions on the medical floor — which also houses “sexually aggressive male inmates.”
