Schenectady woman alleges sex harassment at Boys and Girls Club

A Schenectady woman has filed a lawsuit against the Boys and Girls Club of the Capital Area claiming sexual harassment.

The plaintiff had taught cosmetology to teenagers at the Albany nonprofit before quitting. The lawsuit alleges that the gun and violence prevention director groped her at one point attempted to forcibly have sex with her on another occasion, she said.

The woman also says the program manager harassed her two years ago, showing up at her brother’s funeral, uninvited even, and sending her texts saying, “I want you.

The story was first reported by the Times Union.
