SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP)—A former employee of Miguel Cotto filed a sexual harassment lawsuit seeking more than $500,000 from Puerto Rico’s most popular boxer.

The lawsuit by Martha Chacon Acevedo argues that Cotto made unwanted romantic advances when she worked as an administrator of a residential property owned by the fighter in this U.S. Caribbean territory.

It says Chacon, a Venezuelan, gave in to Cotto’s advances over two months out of fear of losing her job, and was fired in October 2008 after breaking off the relationship.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. district court in San Juan on Aug. 24. It was not reported until this week when Cotto’s family released a statement dismissing it as “frivolous, empty and a total fabrication.”

“We are going to leave everything in our lawyers’ hands and everything will be resolved in court,” Miguel Cotto Carrasquillo, the fighter’s father, said in a written statement late Monday.

Cotto lost the WBO welterweight crown to Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas last month when the referee stopped the fight in the 12th round.

Dude makes me want to take a week off from school and go live in the damn gym

I don't know about the sexual harassment, but Cotto has a long history of being unfaithful to his wife.

Really, now???

SCNDLS said:

Yep. He was separated from his wife for two years due to his action on the side. They just recently reconciled.

Isn't it technically only harassment if they're ugly???

Also, not to make light of things (any further) but harassment is like Puerto Rico's National Hobby. Not sayin it's right, just sayin'. It's a machismo dominated culture.

I was finnta say that's as natural as breathing to dudes from the PR. Hell, women are prolly offended if a dude doesn't harass 'em a lil bit.

johnart said:

If I worked for him regular harassment would be a requirement dammit!

Shawnt27 said:

Seems like he had an outside kid during their marriage. Sloppy . . .

SCNDLS said:

Yeah he is pretty hawt!!!

SCNDLS said:

So basically she wants 250k for each month of fuckin?
And after she got tired of said fuckin she got fired anyway?


It took 3 months for his peeps to adress the lawsuit?


Sounds like somebody got dumped and the dumper is about to pay the dumpee!

SCNDLS said:

Excuse me, I'm ready to take this position but I couldn't help noticing that there was no mention of harassment in the benefits package. What can we do about this???

johnart said:

Benefits . . . check.
Vacation days. . . check.
Ummmm, 'scuse me but where in the employment contract does it address exactly how many times a week I get to hit that???

SCNDLS said:

Harassment in the benefits package!

He may be really fucking crazy and after he gets it he turns total nutbar. But then again....hell that may excite too!
