I congratulate Bert Lent on his victory. His lawsuit was filed during an era that was willing to accept his claims. Mine was not. During the early 1980's I opposed sexual harassment at the Naval Coastal System Center (NCSC) in Panama City, Florida. I lost my job in 1986. This was several years prior to the 1986 Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989. I persisted an in 1990 convinced Rear Admiral M.E. Chang, Naval Inspector General to finally investigate (Navy Hotline Case No. 900084). My allegations were substantiated as later Navy IG George Washington Davis confirmed to Florida U.S. Senator Bob Graham in 1991. I sued eventually ending up in federal court and was offered a $500,000 structured settlement offer. The Asst. U.S. Attorney Mike Finney, my ex wife, and her divorce attorney, Carroll McCauley, met and suborned perjury from her to get the federal case dismissed. Florida prosecuted her for perjury. The feds refused to prosecute their own witness. My children sufferred.
