The San Francisco District Office filed this case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The defendant was Sun Pacific Shippers, Inc., and several related business entities. It was alleged that the complainant, a female, was sexually harassed in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The lawsuit was filed in July 2004 and was eventually resolved by consent decree in June 2005. The complainant, who did not intervene in the case, was awarded a total of $45,000. In addition, the company had to provide a training session, revise and distribute its employee handbook and complaint procedures, and make semi-annual reports to the EEOC. The duration of the consent decree was eighteen months.
