A 24-year veteran of the Yolo County Sheriff's Department has filed a federal lawsuit claiming she was sexually harassed by Sheriff Ed Prieto over a 14-year period, and that her superiors failed to do anything about it.
Victoria Zetwick, a correctional sergeant at the Yolo County Jail, alleges that Prieto repeatedly subjected her to "unwelcome hugs and kisses" since his election in 1998, including a kiss on the mouth at a May 2003 employee awards ceremony, according to the lawsuit filed Oct. 3 in U.S. District Court in Sacramento.
