SAN DIEGO (AP) — A lawsuit against a San Diego County transit district says male security officers used security cameras to ogle female passengers.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that Noel Buckhanon filed the suit against North County Transit District in San Diego County Superior Court on Oct. 31. Court records say Buckhanon began working as an NCTD code enforcement officer in August 2014.
Buckhanon’s suit says her colleagues used surveillance cameras’ zoom functions to focus on female passengers’ bodies and refused to help women they did not consider “cute.”
According to the lawsuit, Buckhanon was discriminated and retaliated against and is on medical leave as a result.
NCTD officials on Friday declined to comment on the lawsuit.
