Restauranteur Signed Sex Harassment Deal But Cites COVID To Show Taxes to SDNY Judge

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 5 – Genesis Ventura sued Ashvin Venkataswany and his two restaurants from having been sexual harassed there, and reached a settlement. But now amid the COVID-19 pandemic shut-down, the settlement cannot be paid. On August 5 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Katherine Polk Failla held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

 Judge Failla said she did not want the case restored to the calendar and urged that an agreement, a second agreement, be reached.

Venkataswamy, through counsel Paula Kelly, said that there is no money to pay.  

 Ventura's lawyer asked to see proof.

Kelly said, Not with media on the line.

 Judge Failla came up with a solution: Kelly email the information to her Chamber for in camera review; to her credit she ordered that at least the cover letter go into the docket.

The case is Ventura v. Tri Tip City, LLC et al., 19-cv-120 (Failla)
