Earlier this year, three women in Kennewick, Washington, filed tort claims against the Benton-Franklin Health District for failing to prevent workplace sexual harassment and retaliation brought upon them by the former administrator, Jason Zaccaria. Now, the women are moving forward with a lawsuit to seek justice for those failures, while also alleging leaders within the health district were aware of Zaccaria’s history of sexual misconduct in the workplace but skirted standard procedures to hire and supervise him anyway.
