OKC transgender officer settles lawsuit against city
OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma City police officer who underwent a sex
change operation is settling a sexual harassment lawsuit against the
city.
The City Council has agreed to pay Sergeant Paula Schonauer
four-thousand dollars and reinstate 80 hours of sick leave.
Schonauer filed the lawsuit last December. She says she was harassed by
rank-and-fil officers and was removed from street duty after
complaining to supervisors.
Schonauer says she just wanted her job back and wasn't trying to draw a
big cash settlement. She says she was recently put back on street duty.
