Trice Harvey was a Republican California state representative. The state Legislature paid $10,000 to settle a sexual harassment complaint. His defenders claimed that there was an misunderstanding of what is funny. The complainant said she was subject to two years of offensive remarks. She signed a confidentiality agreement that Harvey ignored going to the press with claims of innocence, claiming she was fired and her suit was retaliation. This infuriated her since she could not discuss the details of why she filed a claim.
