Former Officer Pilar Ortiz-Buckley Settles Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

A former police officer from Atherton is settling a sexual harassment lawsuit with the city for $230,000.

Former officer Pilar Ortiz-Buckley claimed the city's public workers supervisor sexually harassed her, and then forced her out of the police department when she complained to her superiors.

The city of Atherton decided to settle the case outside of court, without even taking legal depositions in the case.

The public works supervisor, Troy Henderson, is still employed by the city.
