Statement on Sexual Harassment Lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court this week

The City of Berwyn takes all allegations of sexual harassment very seriously. In fact, upon taking office, the City’s current administration ordered sexual harassment training for its employees. Once the City received Detective Terry’s complaints, the City ordered an immediate independent investigation. Further, the Police Chief instructed Drury to have no contact with Terry. All allegations came back unfounded by the investigation. The investigation involved interviewing independent witnesses that were named by Terry and none of those individuals corroborated Terry’s allegations. The City has reviewed the lawsuit and there are no new allegations contained in the lawsuit. If any new allegations arise, the City will promptly order a new independent investigation. The City is committed to providing its employees with a harassment free workplace.
