The Department of Justice is partnering with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help fight sexual harassment in public housing, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Thursday, as part of a week in which sexual crime has been a major focus of DOJ activity.
"We've seen many cases—especially in public housing—where a landlord will exploit vulnerable women and threaten them with eviction unless they provide him with sexual favors," Sessions explained. "We're not going to tolerate that."
The new program is part of federal law enforcement commitment to observing National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. According to Sessions, the exploitation and sexual harassment of women in public housing represents a serious issue. DOJ has successfully recovered $600,000 in damages for 15 victims of sexual harassment over the pass six months, he noted.
