Seal Beach lieutenant sues, citing years of harassment

2015, she learned that several male sergeants had discussed her pregnancy during a management meeting, stating that she was trying to game the system by being hired and then immediately going on light duty.

She hid her pregnancy for almost 20 weeks out of fear that her career might be derailed, according to the lawsuit.

Later, at a holiday party, a sergeant speaking over a microphone at an event referred to Clasby’s young child as her and her husband’s “f--- trophy,” according to the lawsuit.

Child care question

In June 2016, when Clasby tested for a corporal position within the department, the then-police chief asked her how much she paid for child care, calling out her position as a working mother.

When she told him, the chief said it “sounds like we are paying you too much if you can afford that,” the lawsuit states.
