Krueger v. Cuomo
United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
115 F.3d 487 (1997)
- Written by Darius Dehghan, JD
Facts
Debbie Maze (plaintiff) rented an apartment owned by Lyle Krueger (defendant). A few times a week, Krueger entered Maze’s apartment unannounced. Once inside, he grabbed and touched Maze. On one occasion, he asked her if they were “going to do good in bed.” Although Maze asked Krueger to stop, Krueger continued to make sexual advances toward Maze. Eventually, Maze moved out of the apartment and filed suit against Krueger, contending that he committed sex discrimination in violation of the Fair Housing Act (FHA). The administrative-law judge (ALJ) determined that Krueger’s unwelcome sexual advances caused Maze to move out of the apartment. Thus, the ALJ ruled that Krueger violated the FHA’s prohibition against sex discrimination. Krueger appealed.
