BRENTWOOD A Rockingham Superior Court judge sided with Phillips Exeter Academy in a lawsuit brought forward by a former employee, who alleged he was fired due to his sexuality.
Judge Amy Ignatius, in a recent decision, ruled in favor of Phillips Exeter after it was sued in 2017 by Hal Lynch III, a gay former admissions director, who was terminated that year.
Lynch also claimed his firing that year was punishment for testifying in former PEA drama instructor Lane Bateman’s 1992 child pornography trial, stating Lynch was romantically involved with Bateman.
Judge explains decision
After PEA requested summary judgment in the case in December of last year, to Lynch’s objection, Ignatius determined Lynch failed to prove his dismissal was directly related to his sexuality.
By Staff Report
BRENTWOOD – A Rockingham Superior Court judge has once again rejected a bail hearing for a Massachusetts state trooper charged with allegedly head-butting and strangling his extramarital girlfriend.
Attorney Hank Brennan, representing Sgt. Bryan Erickson, filed a motion for a new bail hearing arguing circumstances have changed since his client was last denied bail.
In the motion, Brennan states the alleged victim, who had filed for a restraining order against Erickson, failed to appear at the May 4 hearing, and as a result the temporary order was dismissed by the Family Court. Given the alleged victim s deliberate absence from the restraining order hearing and her abandonment of the restraining order, the defendant raises the change in circumstance as a basis for the court to reconsider its bail order, Brennan wrote in the motion.
