Question

Christine Noland was employed as an administrative assistant in the County Assessor's Office in Comanche County, Oklahoma. Her immediate supervisor was Robert McAdoo; McAdoo was initially the county deputy assessor and was later promoted to the assessor position. Throughout the period of her employment, Noland claims that McAdoo subjected her to unwelcome sexual advances, remarks, and physical contact. McAdoo would put his arm around her waist or neck despite the fact that she continually told him to stop. McAdoo would also stand in a doorway so that Noland had to rub against him to pass through. When Noland refused McAdoo's request that he and she attend an out-of-town conference, she was fired. Noland filed suit under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 against both the county and McAdoo personally, alleging sexual harassment.

Can Noland bring a sexual harassment claim under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983? Can McAdoo personally be held liable under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983? Does Noland have any other statutory remedies available? Explain your answers.
