Michigan cops face wild claims they bet on sex from cop

A former Michigan cop claims her coworkers took bets on who could sleep with her first, forced themselves on her and eventually forced her to resign.

Teresa Williams claims in a new lawsuit that as the only woman on the Iron Mountain Police Department, she was groped, coaxed into kissing a superior officer over shots of alcohol and "held to a completely different standard" on the job than her coworkers.

Williams, 35, joined the department in 2017 after dreaming of the job since childhood, she told the outlet. Iron Mountain is a small town in the Upper Peninsula that borders Wisconsin.

However, her dream gig quickly turned into a "nightmare" because of the alleged sexual harassment, and her time as an officer ended when she was given the option of being fired or resign, according to the suit.

Within her first few weeks with the department, she claimed she was asked to join colleagues for drinks, which made her "happy" and felt like she was being "accepted."

That night, however, she was allegedly told to be fully initiated as a cop she would need to do a shot and then make out with her supervisor, the Detroit Free Press reported. Williams said she rejected the request, but her supervisor allegedly coaxed her into it after he demonstrated, taking a shot and then kissing a former male dispatcher.

Later that night, her former supervisor Joseph Dumais allegedly pressured her into a second shot but did not kiss her. Instead, he allegedly "put his hand between Plaintiff’s legs and grabbed her genitals. Plaintiff froze in fear," according to the suit, which was obtained by Fox News Digital.

In another alleged incident cited in the lawsuit, Williams drove Budek home after going out to a bar with colleagues. Budek allegedly told Williams to stop the car while the two were alone, under the pretenses that he had to "tell her something."

Budek went on to allegedly tell her about "how hot her arse looked in her duty pants," and pulled her hand down to his genitals. He then attempted to kiss the woman, but she turned away, and he kissed her neck, according to the suit.

After finally reaching Budek’s home, he allegedly asked "at least for a hug" and then again reportedly kissed her neck and groped her thigh.
