Lawsuit Dismissed Against PenFed

A federal judge dismisses a $5 million civil lawsuit brought against PedFed Credit Union by a former employee.

In January, Celia Coleman, 55, of Brandywine, Md., a 31-year former employee, filed the civil suit against PenFed. The lawsuit alleged that a woman supervisor sexually demeaned and assaulted Coleman repeatedly.
