TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - The owner of a New Jersey towing company has been ordered to pay $110,000 after an employee claimed he rubbed his body against her, inappropriately touched her and subjected her to sexual remarks.
Attorney General Christopher Porrino announced Monday Statewide Roadside Assistance and its owner, Neal Prasad, will pay a former company dispatcher $50,000 for emotional distress and $7,920 for lost wages. The Toms River company and its owner have also been ordered to pay $52,350 in fines.
According to the Division on Civil Rights, the former employee said Prasad also kissed her on the cheek when she refused to give him a kiss.
The former employee quit her job in 2014 and later filed a complaint with the Division on Civil Rights.
