and (h) of Title vn ,42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e(b), (g) and (h).
3. The Intervenor, Renata Bickham Gibson, filed a charge of employment discrimination with the EEOC, the Plaintiff herein, against the Defendant on or around June 12,2002, more than ninety days prior to the filing of this action. On September 29, 2004, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsnit

7. On at least three occasions, the Intervener contacted the main office of the

main office of Defendant, she spoke with one of the Defendant's owners. The Intervener also complained to the assistant manager at the Defendant's facility where she worked.
The Defendant knew that Mr. Stringfellow was sexually harassing the Intervener; yet, it
refused to take any remedial action.

retaliation for having opposed this conduct. 9. The Intervener has been depriVed of equal employment opportunities and otherwise adversely affected with respect to her employment status because of her sex. Such actions on the part of the Defendant were intentional and were committed with malice. 10.
