this is the court used by city august 7, 2009 Clerk looks to federal cour Justice court judge accused of sexual harrassment ByTIMGURRISTER Standard-Examiner staff tgurrister@standard.net OGDEN — A court clerk will take to the federal level her accusations she was sexually harassed by Weber County Justice Court Judge Craig Storey after the state Judicial Conduct Commission this week took no action against the judge. Over more than two years, Marcia Eisenhour accuses Storey of rubbing up against her and once telling her he dreamed of her naked from the waist up washing dishes in the court's break room. In her complaint she alleges other behaviors by Storey, including monitoring her phone calls, asking co-workers for personal information about her and requiring her vacation requests be made to him directly with detail on where she was going, when and with whom. A key piece of evidence is an 11- page, single-spaced, mildly erotic love poem Storey wrote to her. Harassment also occurred at the Huntsville Justice Court where Sto rey also presides and she has worked as a clerk in recent years, according to Eisenhour, her attorney Brenda Beaton, and documents from the Utah Labor Commission. Beaton is waiting for final papers from the labor commission to move the complaint to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, where penalties can be more severe. The Weber County Attorney's Office pressed the sexual harassment complaint which the JCC chose not to act upon at a Tuesday closed-door hearing. The county also passed the complaint to the Utah Attorney General's Office months ago, which also took no action. "It's been one big fat Pandora's box," Beaton said. Calls to Storey's attorney, Steve Farr, were not immediately returned after several message es were exchanged. Storey gave Eisenhour his love poem in April 2007, handing her the sexually tinged writings on a legal ' pad and telling her to file it. The rambling, rhyming poem is f&t plete with comparisons of Eisenhour's attractiveness to the wonders of na^ co ^1 fure, and descriptions of his unrequited longing for her when both are married to someone else. I But it slips into more suggestive phrasings: "Before fur mortal time on earth is )yer and it's done, what say re split the sheets and you id I have us some fun?" To describe "my heart's one true desire" he employs metaphor at one point: "I'd love to harvest your sweet "g'rapes, make intoxicating wine." In another section he expresses thanks for the indention of sweaters and the Way they fit her. Eisenhour took her complaints to the labor commission and the county attorney's office around June of last year. In her complaint she says those steps came in reaction to Storey's behavior. Eisenhour claims the stress she has suffered from Storey's attentions include migraines, depression and repeated stomach and blood glucose problems, once with symptoms serious enough to require an emergency room visit. The county has reimbursed her the costs of counseling she's receiving because of the hostile work environment, Beaton said. Eisenhour, 49, and Storey, 55, have worked together in the Weber court in the county office building in downtown Ogden for 24 years. They continue to work in the same office today, the county making several moves in attempted mediation, such as relocating Storey's office one floor up, which was across from the court break room. Eisenhour's complaint also claims she avoided the break room to avoid Storey, and often avoided a nearby women's restroom because Storey would loiter there to see her. "Heres' a guy who makes $90,000 a year and he eats his lunch in the breakroom," Beaton said. The county at one time tried having an administrator from a different department serve as her supervisor instead of Storey. After that, another court employee was named to serve as a liaison between them. 3- —j. 3> c CO c c+ rr o o c: O co CD CD cr << o —1. c+ <&lt
