FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,
v.
LYLE KRUEGER, Defendant.
__________________________
CIVIL ACTION NO. 98-C-0886
Judge Myron L. Gordon
CONSENT DECREE
This action was filed by the United States on September 8, 1998, and
amended ______, 1999, to enforce the provisions of Title VIII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended by the Fair Housing Act
Amendments of 1988, 42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq. (the Fair Housing Act).
Defendant owns six (6) residential rental properties, containing ten
(10) rental units, and is in the business of renting and, at times,
managing these properties. These properties are located in the Eastern
District of Wisconsin, all of which are at the following addresses:
* 1626 59th Street, Kenosha, WI (4 two-room efficiencies)
* 1922-24 61st Street, Kenosha, WI (2 three-bedroom apartments)
* 1870 Sheridan Road, Kenosha, WI (3 mobile home trailers)
* 20030 82d Street, Bristol, WI (1 single family home)
In this action, the United States alleges that Defendant has engaged
in a pattern or practice of sexual harassment in the rental of his
apartments, in violation of the Fair Housing Act. The United States
alleges specifically that Defendant Lyle Krueger implemented this
pattern or practice by subjecting female tenants to extensive,
continuous, and unwelcome sexual harassment by conditioning their
tenancy on the grant of sexual favors, by creating a hostile
environment for female tenants, and by retaliating against women who
filed complaints of sexual harassment against him or refused to grant
him sexual favors, in violation of 42 U.S.C. 3604(b) and 3617.
The parties have agreed that in order to avoid protracted and costly
litigation, the controversy should be resolved without further
litigation. Therefore, without a trial or adjudication of all of the
facts alleged by the United States, the parties consent to the entry
of this Decree.
