Allegations of Brett Favre's inappropriate conduct toward New York Jets game hostess Jenn Sterger have been well-documented in the press since the story first broke on Deadspin.com. The alleged conduct, which includes racy texts and photos, occurred in August 2008 during Favre's one-year stint as the Jets' quarterback.
A look at the statute of limitations, Sterger's work relationship with the Jets, Favre's alleged conduct and Sterger's reaction indicates that she has no case.
Statute of Limitations for Sexual Harassment Charges and Lawsuits
Employees who are sexually harassed at work can file a complaint with the government agency in charge of enforcing workplace sexual harassment law. Under both federal and state law (New Jersey law applies, since the N.Y. Jets are based there), Jenn Sterger needed to file a complaint within 180 days of the most recent act of alleged sexual harassment.
