A federal judge has decided not to sanction a Ridgefield attorney who released unredacted deposition transcripts in a high-profile lawsuit involving Danbury’s mayor to a daily newspaper and blog.
The decision is the latest development in a highly charged case in which Wendy DaCosta, a former longtime aide to Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, has sued the mayor and the city, claiming that her civil rights have been violated and that she has been libeled. DaCosta claims she was terminated after sexual harassment complaints were brought against her, but that Boughton and others in city government weren’t punished for similar behavior. Boughton, a Republican candidate for governor, has steadfastly denied any such behavior.
