United States v Adnan Shalash (E.D. Ky.)

On November 18, 2024, the United States filed a Fair Housing Act complaint in United States v. Shalash, et al. (E.D. Ky.). The complaint alleges that the defendants engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination and denied rights to a group of persons on the basis of sex. For at least 20 years, Adnan Shalash has sexually harassed numerous female tenants by offering housing-related benefits in exchange for sexual contact, making unwelcome sexual comments and advances, entering their homes without permission, subjecting them to unwelcome touching and groping, and taking adverse housing-related actions against those who refused his sexual advances. The lawsuit also names as defendants 12 owners of rental properties managed by Adnan Shalash, including Fox Den Properties LLC and Griffith Market Inc.
