United States v. David Jones, et al. (E.D. Wis.)
On March 3, 2026, the parties entered into a settlement agreement in United States v. David Jones, et al. (E.D. Wis.). The complaint, which was filed by the United States Attorney’s Office on July 24, 2025, alleges that Defendant Jones subjected a former tenant to severe, pervasive, and unwelcome sexual harassment, and evicted her for complaining about his conduct, in violation of the Fair Housing Act. The complaint also names as a defendant D Jones Properties LLC, which owned the property where the alleged violations occurred. The settlement agreement requires the defendants to pay $50,000 in damages to the complainant, attend fair housing training, and adopt a policy for handling housing discrimination complaints that allows persons to make a complaint to an independent person or entity rather than to a defendant.
