Former employees sue Pacific Office Automation CEO alleging serial sexual assault
From the Center
AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Douglas Pitassi, the CEO of one of the nation’s largest office equipment suppliers, faces a lawsuit by two former employees of the Oregon-based company who allege that he repeatedly sexually assaulted and harassed them.
In a highly unusual twist, a Multnomah County judge has allowed the lawsuit to proceed, for now, with designated fictitious names for the two plaintiffs, as well as the defendants, Pitassi and the company he has led for 17 years, Pacific Office Automation, in Beaverton.
