attorney for Elizabeth Helm, a 29-year-old employee of the authority (PHA), has charged Greene of "serial predatory sexual misconduct." Elliott alleges that Greene promised her a promotion in her capacity as an interior designer and planner at PHA, if she submitted to his sexual advances. In a letter outlining Helm's sexual-harassment complaint, Elliott wrote that Greene "insisted" that Helm meet him after work April 12, 2010 at the bar of the Prime Rib Restaurant at 1701 Locust St. to discuss PHA-related matters. Elliot calls her the "most recent victim" of Greene's pattern of sexual harassment. Helm had worked at PHA for about a year. The night of the incident, Greene praised her work and said he was processing her promotion paperwork. He then made advances including "touching, grabbing, and groping her,". Despite her insistence that he stop, Greene "continued to forcibly and physically pursue inappropriate and unwanted contact of an intimate nature." Elliot states that Greene admitted to Helm that his contact was unwelcome, stating as he grabbed her, "I know that you don't want to kiss me." Helm filed a complaint April 30, and an investigation opened May 13. An out of court settlement of $250,000 was offered on August 24, 2010 Suspension and Suit On August 25, 2010 the PHA board suspended Mr. Greene for 30 days, after receiving a subpoena for documents from the U.S. Attorney's Office working with the FBI. The PHA said it would proceed with its own investigation into the latest sexual harassment claim (and the first three, claiming it had never been notified of their existence -due to technicalities in the settlements- which to its surprise exceeded $650000). HUD launched its own probe as well. On September 7, 2010 Mr. Greene filed suit against the agency's board of directors, saying its members had "effectively terminated" him without due process, asking for damages in excess of $600,000 Discharge from PHA Mr. Greene was fired by the PHA Board on September 23, 2010 External links Philadelphia Housing Authority "The Effect of the Stimulus Package," ABC World News, December 3, 2009.
