Calif. Democrat Party pays nearly $3M in settlements to former chairman’s sexual assault accusers

In a Friday statement, California’s Democrat Party announced it has reached settlements with the five staff members and activists who sued Eric Bauman last year. The former chairman was facing allegations of discrimination, assault and unwanted sexual advances.

In one case, Bauman’s former assistant received $1.75 million after he alleged the former chairman forced him to perform sexual acts several times without his consent.

The other two lawsuits against Bauman, which settled for nearly $1.8 million combined, claimed Bauman regularly groped, verbally harassed and racially discriminated the plaintiffs.

The lawsuits also said these actions were able to continue within the party because its top leadership looked the other way. Plaintiffs said they failed to confront Bauman when the claims were brought to their attention.

However, the California Democrat Party has failed to acknowledge they committed any wrongdoing.

Lol, the feds will just give them more money, yours and mine. It will be given for fired but they will use it to create more homelessness or something.
