IOWA CITY (AP) Employees at a U.S. Cellular store in Iowa routinely searched customers' phones for naked pictures without their knowledge and eagerly showed them to colleagues when found, according to a former worker's sexual harassment lawsuit.
Lisa Blazek, who worked as a retail consultant at a store in the northwest Iowa city of Spencer from 2007 to 2010, alleges that the first thing employees did when customers brought in their phones for service was to scroll through their photos to "try and find naked or sexually explicit photos."
"If photos of that nature were found, they would show them throughout the store," Blazek wrote in a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, filed as part of an amended lawsuit in federal court last week. "Many times I would be called over to look at something only to find out that it was a sexual picture on a customer's phone."
Blazek, 32, said she has been shown pictures of a woman masturbating, a man lying on a bed naked and "other pornographic materials" from customers' phones.
