1. Workplace Misconduct-Atiba Jones

I first interacted with Atiba Jones upon a suggestion by Horton that I should talk to Jones about possibly getting a new job. I suggested to Jones that we meet at T. Murray's Kitchen and Bar. Jones said that it would look wrong if we met anywhere other than his office so we met there on Monday April 7th. After meeting with Jones for an hour to an hour and a half Jones asked how I was getting home. I let him know that I was taking the bus. Jones offered to give me a ride home. Upon arriving at my house Jones asked what I had planned for the night, he suggested that we exchange phone number so we could possibly meet up and go to Roosters to watch the a basketball game. We were not able to meet up to watch basketball that evening. A few days later Horton called Jones and said that Jones should come out with Horton and me and that we would be going to Avalon for drinks.

After going to Avalon on April 11th where everyone consumed way too much alcohol, Jones and I went to my apartment where we had sex. After that, Jones told me not to tell anyone because people at work would hate me. Horton also told me that Jones could lose his job and for me not to fuck him over because he is one of Horton's friends. Texts between the two of us confirm the sexual relationship. I told him via text that I had hickies all over my neck and he apologized.

April 16, 2014 Jones picked me up at my apartment and we went to the movies and eventually went back to my apartment and had sex.

Friday April 22, Jones and I slept together.

End of April, I sent my resume to Jones so he could sent it to Kevin Boyce his childhood friend and a State Representative for a possible job.

On May 8, 2014 Jones text me the following while at work "I had to look up the definition of 'Fine' ... superior quality, skill, or appearance. You are fucking FINE. Wow .. .it was good to see you."

On May 9, 2014 after having dinner at my house, Jones and I went to Brothers Bar in Arena District where we ran into Holly Flan?? See a more extensive description under Human Resources Interaction. That evening we had sex at my apartment.

For approximately 6 weeks we would go on dates where people from court would not see us together. It was my understanding that Jones was divorced this whole time. We would also text and talk at work and outside of work I would confide in Jones issues that I had with Horton because I thought as Executive Director of the Court House and Horton's friend that he would be able to assist me with my issues with Horton. There was an occasion where I text Jones that Horton was making me feel uncomfortable with touching me and saying inappropriate comments .

Horton's actions did not change. Horton and Jones remained friends so my ability to go to HR, which is under Jones' would not be able to help in my opinion.

On May 18, 2014, Jones invited me to his house where I spent the night and we slept together.

On June 2, 2014, I complained to Jones about Horton being upset with my decision to stay at a bar with my friends rather than go to dinner with him and Brian Simms during the Memorial Tournament.
