McKINNEY — Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis is accused of sexually harassing and retaliating against female employees, according to a lawsuit filed...
“false, defamatory and outrageous” at a news conference, where he presented “extraordinary evidence” he says debunks allegations in a federal lawsuit filed last month.
The suit says Willis inappropriately touched and propositioned female employees. It also alleges Willis’ top prosecutor, First Assistant District Attorney Bill Wirskye, fostered a toxic workplace and county officials were complicit in covering up the systemic misconduct. Wirskye has denied the allegation but did not respond Wednesday to a request for comment.
The plaintiffs’ lawyer said the notes that “flatter him or thank him” corroborate allegations in the lawsuit that Willis demanded employees “show incessant gratitude and effusive praise of him as a requirement of job performance.” In an audio recording of the exit interview, a woman Willis said Wednesday is LaFleur can be heard saying, “Can I give you a hug?” and, “You are so wonderful! Thank you so much! And I will see you around.” Willis described her tone during this interaction as “animated” and cheerful.
The lawsuit accuses Willis of treating “many female employees as objects that, without their consent, must gratify his sexual impulses and personal vanity, while … Wirskye runs the office as a crass, misogynistic fraternity complete with systemic hazing of the County’s attorneys, investigators and staff.”Willis just won another 4-year term
