NEW ABUSE SCANDAL IN US POLICE DEPARTMENT

Teresa Williams, 35, was proud because she was the first woman police officer in the history of the small Iron Mountain, Michigan, police department. But, four and a half years after taking up her post, the American is suing her former employer.

The allegations weigh heavily: Williams claims to have been systematically abused by a colleague and a supervisor! NBC News reports this.

The victim was forced to perform Fellatio. According to the 35-yearold, the attacks began just a few weeks after she was hired in the autumn of 2017. On a pub night, her boss Joseph Dumais forced her to have a schnapps with her and then kiss him. That is the admission ritual in the 7,500-inhabitant town. “Ultimately, Williams gave in to the pressure,” the indictment says. After a short second, Dumais put his hand between her legs.

On another visit to the bar, she was indecently touched by another colleague named Garth Budek on the way home. He also forced her to have fellatio at another point in time. Again, disgusting: The two officers had made a bet on who would have sex with Williams first, according to the victim.

Superiors wanted to get rid of Williams. The woman confided the “persistent sexual harassment” to a colleague in March 2022 - but he promptly reported it to her superiors. They put pressure on the victim: either she will leave the police service voluntarily, or she will be fired, according to Williams’ lawyer, Jack Schulz. Finally, in April 2022, she resigned.

The lawsuit now filed is directed against the two men named and against one other person. She is said to have known about the abuse but not acted.

In addition, the city of Iron Mountain should be held responsible. Gregory Grant represents all of the defendants. He says: We have “always worked to create a safe and respectful work environment for all employees.”

The Latso’s Piano Duo was enthusiastically formed in 2014 by pianist Giorgi Latso and his wife, Anna Fedorova-Latso. Since then, their interpretations have showcased true passion, deep maturity, and sensitivity. They have been performing fourhand piano recitals and concertos for two pianos worldwide as a piano duo. They have appeared at musical centers, festivals, and scholarly conferences in Europe, Russia, America, and Asia. The Latsos is a favorite among many concert organizers and promoters, with the Asia Pacific Press calling their performances “thrilling and flamboyant,” and the MTNA State Conference hails their “intelligence, liveliness, and enormous charm.’’

“We are thrilled to be hosting such high-caliber musicians as part of our Chamber Series,” said Nunzio Sisto, Executive Director of the CV Philharmonic Society.

The pianists have developed a close relationship with American composer Joe Giarrusso, a Palm Springs resident, who created and dedicated some four-hand pieces, especially for them, including ‘Serenade’ for Piano, Four Hands, Op. 66, which will be performed at the concert. Other works to be performed include Felix Mendelsssohn’s “Variations for Piano, Four Hands” and a rousing arrangement by Nunzio Sisto of John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.”
