The City Council of Las Vegas voted today to approve the settlement of a lawsuit brought by a female firefighter who was at the center of a controversy surrounding a sexually explicit video. The firefighter, identified as Jane Doe, claims a former boyfriend who was a firefighter in Henderson, improperly shared an intimate video of her after their relationship ended.
Doe learned that the video was shared with members of her own department, prompting her to sue the City of Las Vegas, the City of Henderson, and 12 named employees, alleging sexual harassment, discrimination and violating her rights. She subsequently resigned from the Las Vegas Fire Department.
The settlement requires the city to pay $280,000.
