Brief Filed In Pitino Case
KENTUCKY....
Federal prosecutors have filed a brief in U.S. District Court in Louisville alleging Karen Cunagin Sypher filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against an auto glass business owner in 2001, similar to the charges against Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino. In the earlier case, prosecutors say, Sypher claimed to be pregnant when he ended the relationship and sued the man after she was fired a few months later from a job he had hired her to do. Assistant U.S. Attorney John E. Kuhn Jr. says the earlier alleged extortion attempt, which did not result in criminal charges, will be introduced at Sypher's trial, which starts July 26th. Sypher has pleaded not guilty to charges she attempted to extort $10 million from Pitino and lied to the FBI.
