Brenda Dennstedt, formerly a staff member with Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Hewitt, filed a lawsuit March 3 against Hewitt and his chief of staff, alleging they harassed her based on her age and sex, violated the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and retaliated against her when spoke up against office misconduct.
Dennstedt, who now serves on the board of directors of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, was hired by Hewitt as his legislative assistant/public safety liaison around March, 2019, and was fired Oct. 26, 2020, the complaint in Riverside Superior Court says.
