NORTHFIELD, N.J., March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Cape May County Prosecutor's Office is facing a discrimination suit that alleges both a sex-based and race-based hostile work environment.

Kathryn Gannon, another plaintiff involved in the case, alleges she has been subject to gender discrimination.

The plaintiffs were both hired in 2004 and allege a hostile work environment in which they were denied promotions and given menial tasks because they are women.
