Hudson Reporter Appellate court reinstates ‘sexting’ lawsuit Stacie Percella is suing Mayor James Davis and the city for alleged sexual harassment × Stacie Percella brings allegations to light at the May city council meeting in 2017. The Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division has reinstated a lawsuit by former Bayonne City Hall employee Stacie Percella against Mayor James Davis and the city. The suit alleges that Percella was fired in retaliation for filing a federal lawsuit against the city in 2014. That lawsuit alleged hostile environment discrimination, due to Percella’s actions as a vice president of the local civil service employee’s union, and because she rebuffed Davis’s alleged sexual overtures.
