This according to a former employee who is suing the team for sexual harassment/ creating a hostile work environment:

Breshetta Clark claims in the federal lawsuit that Carl Howard Parker, the team’s engineering director, sought sexual favors while her husband was away on military duty.

Clark, who filed her claim in May, is seeking compensatory and punitive damages of $3 million against each defendant in the case — the Grizzlies and Parker, according to court documents.

The suit says the team’s human resources department didn’t address her repeated complaints and “nothing was done to stop the pornography, the jokes or the hostile environment” — which allegedly occurred from May 2005 to April 2006.

The Grizzlies have filed a response to the lawsuit denying its employees acted in the way described and that if “plaintiff’s rights were violated, any such violations occurred outside the scope of its employees’ employment or agency and without the consent of the defendant.”

Clark also accused Parker of allowing sexually graphic content to be viewed on a computer in the engineering office and retaliating against her when she complained to team officials.

Well, I will say this: that was no hug. This makes Harold Reynolds look like a priest, and not good timing considering how pissed off David Stern must be right now with the whole Tim Donaghy saga; he’s got to be looking for a punching bag right now and Memphis may have officially volunteered.
