SHAKEEM MALIK HOLMES VS. JERSEY CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT
A-1634-15T3
Where police officers insulted and threatened an arrestee,
the conduct was sufficiently severe that a reasonable
transgender person in plaintiff's position would find the
environment within the police station to be hostile, threatening
and demeaning. Therefore, the trial court erred in granting
summary judgment, dismissing plaintiff's Law Against
Discrimination complaint alleging "hostile-environment"
discrimination in a place of public accommodation.
