Congresswoman’s top aide resigns over sexual harassment allegations

A top aide to a Democratic lawmaker who has been one of the most outspoken House members on sexual harassment resigned on Thursday after he was accused of sexually harassing women in the office, it was reported.

Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan said she would accept the resignation of her chief of staff Dwayne Duron Marshall who was accused of making inappropriate comments and having physical contact with women, the Detroit News reported.

“No employee should ever be made to feel intimidated, harassed or otherwise discriminated against in their place of work,” Lawrence said in a statement. “​​Every employee should feel free to present their concerns with the expectation that those concerns will be quickly and directly addressed and resolved.​”​

I worked for the Federal Government and was harassed and even given the Fact finger. Went to Personnel - put it in writing to all concerned. Nothing was done. I was the wrong color. Happens all the time. MGMT afraid to deal with it.
