Fox News
A longtime Ohio landlord has been sued by the Department of Justice after he allegedly sexually harassed female tenants over a span of 11 years, violating the Fair Housing Act.
The civil complaint alleges that Pedaline repeatedly made sexual comments, touched female tenants without their consent, entered female tenants' homes without permission, and offered to overlook late rent payments – or waive payments altogether – in exchange for sexual favors.
Pedaline is also accused of evicting tenants, or threatening to do so, if they refused his advances, the lawsuit states.
