A major Manhattan public defenders' organization was sued over alleged sexual harassment Wednesday.

The lawsuit, filed by Megan Goddard of Goddard Law, was the second such lawsuit in a two-year span.

The new complaint alleges that numerous female employees of New York County Defender Services were treated unfairly and demeaned in the workplace. Plaintiff Andrea Moletteri, who worked at NYCDS for 17 years and led the organization's training program for much of that time, was both an observer and a victim of that treatment, according to the complaint.
