Fourth Circuit -- Katrina Okoli v. City of Baltimore

Katrina Okoli v. City of Baltimore 

Strong claim for hostile work environment given claims of occasional jacuzzi-propositioning.  Strong subjective component to HWE.

Dismissal hours after complaint to the Mayor means that quid-pro-quo discrimination is a triable fact. 
(Uncredited Sherlock Holmes quote at the end of the section.)

Letter to Mayor was protected conduct, as city should have known that the claims therein were related to gender harassment.

Summary judgment TKO'd & case remanded.
