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intends to sue the department over accusations she has endured years of sexual harassment and recently had a promotion rescinded.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 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.
