When Gonzales worked at La Dorada, Gandara told her she should "dress more sexy" and "show more," according to the lawsuit. He also referred to Gonzales as "forbidden fruit."

One night after work, Grandara walked Gonzales to her car, and while the two were alone, he fondled her and licked her face, according to the lawsuit.

Gonzales didn't return to work after the incident.

Gonzales and her attorney, Jeff Herman, are scheduled to speak about the lawsuit on Tuesday afternoon.
