If I needed an architect Carlson Design Team crossed itself off my list
I hope the company never gets a contract ever again
An Iowa City architect accused in a lawsuit earlier this year of secretly recording an employee while she pumped breast milk now faces criminal charges of violating the woman’s privacy 22 times over eight months.
Robert Carlson, 67, told police he found his employee, Jessica Clark, 32, of Ely, “very beautiful and wanted to see what was underneath the (her) blouse or shirt,” according to a criminal complaint filed this week.
Clark sued Carlson and the Carlson Design Team in May, alleging sexual harassment, sex discrimination, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. This was after Dec. 18, when she said she found a recording device in the conference room at Carlson Design Team, 1210 S. Gilbert St., where she had been pumping breast milk.
Police obtained a search warrant for the architecture firm’s office and Carlson’s house. Police said they seized electronic devices as part of their search. Those devices contained 22 videos of separate incidents in which Clark was recorded pumping, police said.
