Harassment
Continued fro m page 1
continued until July 2000, when
Stevens allegedly did something
that caused her to file a formal
complaint.
"He brought me two pictures of
a partly dressed female," said
Evans. "I don't have any problem
f cking employees," she said
Stevens told her. "She [the
woman in the photo] used to work
for me too." Evans said she later
confirmed the woman in the pic-

unit," said Evans.
Later, however, two other fe-
male officers found the pictures,
shared that information with
Evans and also provided the name
of the woman in the picture. At
that point, said Evans, she con-
fessed her problem to the other
two officers. "Then I got scared,"
said Evans, "because I didn't
know what he [Stevens] was go-
ing to do."
Evans decided to place an
anonymous call with the DOC's
Internal Affairs Unit. Her call, she
said, was taped and replayed for

needed to determine the exact na-
ture of the complaint and who all
might be involved."

heard more comments from
Stevens, who allegedly told her he
