The chief was placed on paid temporary leave after the lawsuit detailed an alleged 'prolonged pattern and practice of abhorrent sexual harassment and repeated sexual assault.'
Police Department has been placed on temporary leave after a veteran employee alleged in a civil lawsuit that he repeatedly sexually assaulted her at work and raped her at her home in a “prolonged pattern and practice of abhorrent sexual harassment” that continued for 13 years.
Deputy Chief Frank Roman Jr. from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office said his office is investigating, but he declined to comment. The woman said in court papers she was a single mother when the alleged assaults began and she feared losing her job at the police department if she reported the misconduct.
Manville officials did not name the officers placed on leave or give any details of the allegations against them. She went home, told no one about the incident and did not speak to Herbst about it, the lawsuit said. Herbst began to regularly come to her office, put his hands inside her shirt and masturbate in front of her about once a week from 2009 until 2015, she said.
Later, Herbst began following her home for lunch and raped her in her living room or took her to a hotel parking lot and assaulted her in a car, according to the allegations. He also took her to a hotel room once, telling her she was disobeying an order if she didn’t go inside, she said.
