In August 2004, the Tampa and Miami offices of the EEOC brought this suit against Sand Key Associates, Ltd. d/b/a Sheraton Sand Key Resort in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. In its complaint, the EEOC alleged that defendant violated Title VII's prohibition of sex discrimination by subjecting a male employee to a sexually hostile work environment. In September 2004 the charging party intervened in the suit and also sought recovery directly from the alleged harasser. The case was settled by the entry of a consent decree in October 2005. In the three-year decree, the defendant was prohibited from engaging in discrimination and retaliation. The defendant was required to pay $172,500.00 in monetary relief to the charging party and an additional claimant. Additionally, the defendant was required to provide annual training to its managers and supervisors; to discipline the alleged harasser; and to report to the EEOC on a semi-annual basis on compliance with the consent decree.
The terms of the agreement were to run for 3 years. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
