The U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Connecticut have filed a federal lawsuit seeking financial compensation for numerous victims of a former New London landlord who sexually harassed and intimidated them.

That landlord, Richard Bruno Jr., began serving a 16-year prison sentence in 2017 for producing child pornography at a property called Domco II, which he owned at the time with his then-wife. The lawsuit, which lists Bruno, Domco II and Domco as defendants, seeks civil penalties, monetary damages to each aggrieved party and a court order preventing future discrimination. Bruno was a property manager for Domco.
