A female recruit has recently filed a lawsuit against several Port Authority of New York and New Jersey cops after claiming that they called her called "too feminine" to be a cop and was harassed by her instructors.
According to the suit, Sgt. Erick Torres pointed out that Amanda Holley had a large chest and said, don't forget the sports bra because she was the only one with a chest, the New York Daily reported.
The cops also allegedly called Holley a "Barbie" and an "American Girl doll" and her instructors were in cahoots to harass her while she attended the Port Authority police academy.
The 29-year-old recruit, who was supposed to graduate from the academy in January 2014, was fired in 2013 for failing a firearm test.
The sexual harassment did not go unnoticed by other recruits, who saw Torres and other officers demean Holley in front of her peers, comment on her breasts and attack her with pepper spray during training at the Jersey City academy.
The lawsuit claimed that Torres purportedly "paraded" Holley in front of the platoon, called her Angelina Jolie for having such a swollen face and asked if she had a Botox injection.
A month before she lost her job, Torres told Holley he would make her face "pretty" if she died in the line of duty.
The suit demands unspecified damages and compensation for lost wages and injury to reputation after four months of alleged harassment in which Holley says she was silenced by abusive instructors out of risk of being terminated.
