Valerie Rheeder v. Shellene Gray, City of Marion, Douglas Slagle and Joseph McHale

Summary

The court held that the alleged sexual harassment was not sufficiently severe or pervasive to create an actionable hostile work environment under the Iowa Civil Rights Act. It also held that the alleged written warning, threats, physical contact, and intimidating conduct did not constitute materially adverse actions supporting retaliation. The court therefore reversed the denial of summary judgment and remanded for dismissal of the claims.
