A Boss's Accuser Is Arrested

This is why you cannot believe all sexual harassment complaints:

A former personal assistant who sued an investment firm chief for sexual harassment has been arrested on charges of using the executive’s credit card to charge tens of thousands of dollars in personal expenses. The assistant, Fatima Monahan, 36, of North Arlington, N.J., is charged with grand larceny.

She was accused of stealing more than $43,000 from Frederick Iseman, founder and managing partner of Caxton-Iseman Capital, a private equity investment firm. Ms. Monahan’s lawyer, Charles Ross, said “when the evidence is heard, it’ll be absolutely clear she did nothing wrong.”

Mr. Iseman said yesterday that Ms. Monahan’s claims were “baseless and dishonest, and were fabricated to distract attention from her own outrageous behavior.” Ms. Monahan pleaded not guilty at her arraignment yesterday in State Supreme Court.

She needs to be prosecuted for the phony sexual harassment charges. It is bad enough when someone is actually guilty of sexual harassment to get away with it, however, it is worse when an innocent person is accused of such a despicable act.
