: New York Public Personnel LawDismissal recommended by hearing officer after finding employee guilty of accessing sexually explicit materials while at work
New York City Law Department v Cooper, OATH Index #1394/10
OATH Administrative Law Judge John Spooner recommended termination for a 73-year-old paralegal found to have opened, sent, and printed sexually explicit e-mails, images, and videos.
In determining the appropriate penalty, ALJ Spooner took into account that Aban Cooper failed to perceive the inappropriateness of his conduct, instead taking from the incident only that he should avoid e-mail in the future.
The Administrative Law Judge reasoned that the Cooper's testimony indicated that if he could find new ways of accessing sexually explicit materials which did not involve posting them or e-mailing them, he would probably do so.
