N.J. sheriff’s deputy has endured years of sexual harassment on job, lawsuit notice says

A Passaic County sheriff’s deputy who works at the county jail has filed a notice that she intends to sue the department over accusations she has endured years of sexual harassment and recently had a promotion rescinded.

Nicole Staso, 41, states in a notice of tort claim, which precedes the filing of a lawsuit, that she was promoted to detective in the department’s Community Release Center, but it was taken away two hours later based on false accusations about her conduct and personal life.
