As the sole remaining plaintiff in a suit alleging widespread workplace harassment gears up for trial, a federal judge restricted the amount of evidence the plaintiff is allowed to present regarding the defendant’s relationships with co-workers.
Michael Weidman’s two earlier workplace romances are too far removed, having happened over a decade ago, to be relevant, said U.S. District Judge Christopher Conner of the Middle District of Pennsylvania. However, he held that testimony from the ex-husband of the company’s executive director, Anne Vogt, about his wife’s affair with Weidman and the use of her child’s cellphone in tracing her to Weidman’s home would be relevant and admissible.
