He’d offered to settle for $850k, but was ignored (via toofab)
In October a St. Louis County Circuit Court jury agreed with him and awarded him $20 million; this week the two parties agreed to settle for just over half that amount.Prior to the trial, Wildhaber and his lawyers had offered to settle the case for $850,000 plus an immediate promotion to lieutenant; their offer was ignored.
In total Wildhaber will net just over $6.4 million, while his lawyers get about $3.8 million, according toIn his lawsuit Wildhaber claimed that John Saracino, a member of the St. Louis County Board of Police Commissioners, told him that his superiors had "a problem with your sexuality." The officer claims Saracino told him that if he wanted to get promoted, "you should tone down your gayness." Saracino, who is no longer a member of the board, denies this."I think it's really important for those of us in St. Louis County to recognize this is a tough time for the county, but we have to recognize that discrimination isn't right," St. Louis County Executive Sam Page said at a news conference.
Following the October verdict, Wilbhaber was finally promoted from sergeant to lieutenant, and was put in charge of the newly created Diversity and Inclusion Unit.
