EX-MARINE SUES 'MAN-HATING' W'CHESTER LADY LAWYERS

March 8, 2009 --

He could handle the Marines, but the women of the Westchester County Attorney's Office were apparently too much for this lawyer, claims a federal lawsuit.

Public ridicule, demeaning assignments and being denied raises were all part of life for Westchester County's male lawyers, claims Marine veteran Michael A. Deem in a lawsuit filed Feb. 27 in Manhattan federal court.

County Attorney Charlene Indelicato was so anti-male that she allegedly barred her male lawyers from even speaking to her, and her female subordinates followed her lead, making life so miserable that three male lawyers left, Deem alleges in court papers.

A 20-year veteran of the Marines, Deem also accuses Indelicato of being critical of his choice to serve in the military and of trying to deny or reduce his pay and benefits during his military leaves.

Along with Indelicato, Deem is suing three of his coworkers - including one who changed clothes in her office while the door was open, according to court papers.

He is seeking unspecified damages.
