CRC Insurance Services has been hit with a $50 million sexual harassment suit from a former managing director who claims the wholesale brokerage firm retaliated against her after she complained of a fellow manager's inappropriate behavior.
Constance Callan, in court papers filed last month in Superior Court, Central District of Los Angeles, accused CRC of suspending her in retaliation for numerous complaints against Chris Houska, also a managing director at CRC in California with Ms. Callan, for offensive comments and behavior of a sexual nature.
Ms. Callan claims that between 2005–when Mr. Houska joined CRC's operations in the acquisition of Sterling West–and her suspension on May 12 of this year, she made a series of verbal and written complaints to Tom Curtain, CRC's chairman and chief executive officer, about Mr. Houska's conduct on a number of occasions.
