A female township police lieutenant faced a steady stream of gender discrimination from top police brass and other officials that culminated earlier this year in her being placed on administrative leave after a “manufactured” claim of harassment was lodged against her, according to a recently filed lawsuit.
Additionally, the Franklin Township Police officer, Lt. Kristen Durham, charges in the suit that she faced retaliation from the FTPD senior officers when she complained about alleged discriminatory practices against her and minority female officers.
