Worker Says DHS Tolerates Sexual Predator


HONOLULU (CN) - A Transportation Security Administration claims she was sexually assaulted by a TSA investigator, and when she reported it the federal government forced her to sign a false disavowal and suspended her. She says she is "at least the third woman to report unwelcome sexual advances" from the same man, and that all of his victims were retaliated against with suspension or threats of termination.

Nilda C. Marugame, a TSA at Lihue airport, sued the TSA's governmental parent, the Department of Homeland Security, in Federal Court.
Marugame claims a TSA investigator (TSI) "sexually assaulted her" on Aug. 26, 2009.

Five days later, she says, she "attempted to notify the Assistant Federal Security Director of sexual assaults in the workplace by a Transportation Security Investigator."

On Sept. 4, 2009, she says, "the Assistant Federal Security Director coerced Marugame into signing a typed statement that the Assistant Federal Security Director had previously prepared. The statement described the sexual assaults in the workplace by a Transportation Security Investigator as consensual rather than as unwelcome sexual advances."
