Ms. Starnes filed her case in October 2017, shortly before the details of the infamous Harvey
Weinstein conduct became public. Her decision to bring the action against her employer and a
judge demonstrated a courageous effort to disclose official wrongdoing. Ms. Starnes, a resident
of a small Western Pennsylvania rural community, suffered astounding ostracism and unwonted
notoriety as a result of her decision. While there were some in the community who respected
her and supported her efforts to reveal a sordid story, many resulted to victim blaming and
vilified her character in highly degrading internet postings. Nevertheless, Ms. Starnes persisted
to protect her own rights and the rights of others.

Ms. Starnes’ case reaffirmed the rights of any individual who is sexually victimized by an
abusive public official to assert claims under the equal protection clause. Judge Doerr attempted
to have these claims dismissed on the basis of qualified immunity. Both the District Court and
the Third Circuit rejected his arguments. In ruling on the issue, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals
affirmed that governmental officials who engage in sexual harassment or who create a sexual
hostile work environment are not entitled to qualified immunity. Specifically, the Court ruled that
Ms. Starnes’ allegations that a judicial officer “coerced her into engaging in sexual relations,
shared pornography with her, asked her to film herself performing sexual acts, engaged in a
pattern of flirtatious behavior, scolded her for speaking with male colleagues, assigned her
duties forcing her to be close to him, and treated her differently than her male colleagues …
support severe or pervasive discrimination such that the working environment was subjectively
and objectively offensive.” Starnes v. Butler Cty. Court of Common Pleas, 50th Judicial Dist.,
971 F.3d 416, 428 (3d Cir. 2020). This observation led the court to reject Judge Doerr’s appeal
from the district court’s denial of his motion to dismiss based on qualified immunity, since “a
robust consensus of persuasive authority exists to clearly establish that creating a hostile work
environment constitutes a § 1983 violation.” Id.
Ms. Starnes courageously stood up for a principal and persevered through great resistance and
emotional stress to get to the point where her claim was acknowledged. Ms. Starnes has now
favorably settled her case. The settlement allows her to move on with her life. She is happy to
have this difficult chapter of her life behind her, but remains open to discussing her battle.
