Sex For Repairs Scandal In Baltimore City Public Housing Complex

A handyman and supervisor for the Baltimore City Housing Authority routinely and systematically withheld necessary repairs from women who refused to have sex with them, creating a hostile environment and culture of fear in public housing complexes in the city, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of seven women living in public housing units in Baltimore, alleges the housing authority failed to address repeated complaints about a supervisor and a handyman who allegedly preyed on women living in squalid conditions in the housing units, offering repairs in exchange for sex. The suit alleges the men would withhold repairs from those who refused their advances, forcing them instead to live with rodent and insect infestations, dangerous mold, exposed wires and peeling paint.

While most of the alleged abuse took place in the Gilmor Homes, a housing complex in West Baltimore where Freddie Gray lived before he died, the men were sometimes dispatched to other complexes and would victimize women there, the lawsuit says.

I guess if you live in "free" housing there is a cost.

Puts a whole new spin on "I'm here to work on your plumbing, madam."

They make these trades for narcotics, why not repairs?

These "ladies" are supposedly now living "in fear." I call BS on that one. The only thing they ever fear is the thought that they may have to go out and get jobs.

These ladies (cough) probably make more for their services than most of us. But here they go with another angle to get paid. They have no class, no clue, and no shame. They will get the 10 million each thanks to who is running the show. They are ALL in it. Gets moo money.

I don't care if they are "classy" women or not. They don't deserve to be victimized and used as whores by the dirtbag handyman and his supervisor. Doesn't surprise me, since they have little to no respect for women.
