HUDSON, Mass. —A former Hudson elementary school janitor is suing the school district, claiming her boss ignored her complaints that she was being sexually harassed by a co-worker.

Sandra Nguyen, who worked for more than nine years at the Farley School, alleges her supervisor failed to take action when she complained that a colleague was showing up to work intoxicated, leering at her and making explicit comments about her body, MetroWest Daily News reported Thursday.

Nguyen, who was fired by the school district last year, claims she then faced retaliation from her superiors for speaking out about her treatment and for raising concerns about the behavior of another custodian.

In a lawsuit filed earlier this year in Middlesex Superior Court, Nguyen claims she suffered "substantial emotional and financial harm" as a result, including loss of wages and benefits. She is seeking at least $28,000 in back wages, as well as attorneys' fees and exemplary and punitive damages.
