An employee of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) secretly recorded director Melvin Watt making sexual advances toward her, according to NPR News.
Simone Grimes has accused Watt of sexual harassment, retaliation and pay discrimination, claiming he leveraged his ability to advance her career as he discussed his attraction to her.
"I'm guilty of having an attraction to you, that is true," Watt said on the tape obtained by NPR. "So it makes me more conscious not to leave some impression."
Grimes this week filed a lawsuit against FHFA , alleging it violated the Equal Pay Act as she worked two jobs simultaneously for less money than her male coworkers. She also filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in May, NPR reported.
