PDF: Complaint
The tenant of a 72-year-old local landlord claims the man came to her duplex month after month and groped her as he collected the rent.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Hamilton County Circuit Court, Sarah Hurst said landlord Colman Hochman began groping her one month after she and her boyfriend moved into the Eucalyptus Drive duplex in January 2010.
The monthly visits escalated over time from touching her clothes to Hochman reaching up her shirt in front of her 3-year-old child, Hurst’s sister and a female friend, the lawsuit states.
“Several times I pushed this man off of me,” Hurst, 31, said in a phone interview Friday. “And he still would not stop.”
