EEOC's Miami, FL office filed this sex discrimination lawsuit against the defendant, Conam Management Corp. d/b/a Conam Property Services, Ltd. in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (Jacksonville) on 09/30/2003. The defendant, headquartered in CA, managed an apartment home at Ponte Vedra Beach, FL and other properties in Duval and St. Johns County, FL. EEOC alleged that a former female employee at the Ponte Vedra Beach property was subject to sexual harassment and retaliatory termination. A guest of the former employee's supervisor engaged in repeated, daily sexually offensive physical and verbal conduct against the employee. The defendant did nothing to correct the sexual harassment and terminated the employee for no reason. The former employee intervened in the lawsuit.The defendant filed a motion to dismiss the case before answering the complaint. The district court judge John H. Moore II stayed the case for 60 days so that the parties could engage in good-faith efforts to resolve the claims. However, the parties failed to abide by that order and Judge Moore entered a °?show cause°± order after the 60-day stay. No sanctions were imposed on either party. A settlement was finally reached on 01/03/2005 when EEOC proposed a consent decree and the district court entered the consent decree on 01/11/2005.Under the three-year consent decree, the defendant agreed to pay the former employee $86,000 in lost wages and compensatory damages. The defendant was also required to provide annual trainings, distribute its existing sexual harassment policies, post EEO notices, and appoint an internal coordinator for ensuring compliance with the consent decree and providing reports to the EEOC. The docket sheet doesn't show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008
