Moore Comfort Home Care, LLC, a Norfolk-area provider of private home healthcare services, violated federal law by subjecting female employees to sexual harassment, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit announced. According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, one of the company’s owners subjected at least three female employees to sexual harassment between 2021 and 2023, making unwanted sexually suggestive comments, engaging in unwanted sexual touching, and making unwanted sexual advances. The suit said that the female employees resisted the owner’s advances and at least two employees complained about the harassment to another owner of the company and at least one was forced to resign because of the intolerable working conditions. Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace.
