Citing sexual harassment and gender discrimination among other complaints, two female Barnegat Township police officers recently filed a 35-page federal lawsuit. According to the complaint, the plaintiffs contend the incidents caused emotional distress, anxiety and other health-related impacts.

Attorney Tracy Riley of the Law Offices of Riley & Riley filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Trenton on behalf of Officer Sarah Girgenti and Officer Nicole Lentini Mason.
