Ockomon/Spencer Ordeal Not Quite Over
10.10.12Filed Under: ECI News
The long-running sexual harassment dispute between former Anderson Mayor Kris Ockomon and former employee Teresa Spencer was settled back in May. But that’s not quite the end of it. An attorney for Teresa Spencer argued this week that a lawsuit filed against her by Ann Ockomon, wife of the former mayor, should be dismissed. Ann Ockomon’s lawsuit argued that Spencer’s allegations made in her federal complaint represented her in a false light and intentionally caused her emotional distress, for which she required professional treatment. Spencer’s attorney says her client can’t be held liable for defamation because of statements made in federal court pleadings. A judge is expected to make a ruling within a few weeks.
