How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the “deeply suspicious [fact] that Stewart fired Okoli only hours after she ... complain[ed] to the Mayor” about harassment was sufficient to meet plaintiffs burden to show pretext at the summary judgment stage
• concluding that the alleged incidents of “fondling, kissing, propositioning, describing sexual activities, and asking intimate questions” created a question of fact as to the severity of harassment
• holding the termination of an employee hours after she complained of harassment was evidence of pretext
• finding that employee “present[ed] a strong claim for hostile work environment” where “she suffered upwards of twelve . . . incidents in just four months”
• finding that the plaintiff engaged in protected activity where she “twice complain[ed] of harassment” even though she did not detail the incidents nor explicitly describe the harassment as sexual
• finding jury question as to pretext, in part because employee was terminated for minor scheduling issues and typos
