'When Did You Lose Your Virginity?' CHP refused to discipline officer who sexually harassed a cadet

'When Did You Lose Your Virginity?'

EUREKA, Calif. (CN) - Despite recorded evidence, the California Highway Patrol refused to discipline an officer who sexually harassed a cadet, and retaliated against the cadet for reporting it, the woman claims in court.

Nicole Summer Smith sued the California Highway Patrol in Federal Court. The CHP is the only defendant.

Smith, of Mendocino County, claims Officer Brian Call sexually harassed her with "several intrusive, highly personal and offensive questions regarding her sex life" during a background screening test on Dec. 16, 2010.

Smith's nonparty husband also is a Highway Patrolman.

Smith claims that during the mandatory, recorded Critical Voice Stress Analysis (CVSA), Call asked: "how old she was when she lost her virginity; how many sexual partners had she had; would she ever consider cheating on her husband; and did she find him (Call) attractive. The entire CVSA was audio tape-recorded."
