Nebraska State Patrol required 'sexually invasive' exams for female recruits, trooper's lawsuit says

LINCOLN — Female recruits for the Nebraska State Patrol were required to undergo “medically unnecessary and sexually invasive” medical examinations as part of their pre-employment evaluation, a state trooper alleged Tuesday in a federal lawsuit.

Trooper Brienne Splittgerber also alleged that leaders of the State Patrol, over almost three years, failed to adequately investigate the “outrageous” exams of female genitals done by a male Lincoln doctor, and then worked to cover up the matter.

Her lawsuit, filed by Omaha attorney Tom White, asks for unspecified damages for creating a hostile working environment for female recruits and causing emotional distress.

A spokesman for the State Patrol, reached late Tuesday afternoon, said the agency does not comment on lawsuits. But an email from a patrol lawyer, included as an exhibit in the lawsuit, said the exams were “a hernia check” required of both male and female recruits.

Was it while they were checking your prostate? Man all these guys “hey...if I got to go through it they should too”.

It’s like checking a car for the condition of it’s sail. lol

I watched all of the first season. Any idea when season 2 will start?

I loved the old man’s remark that Obama seemed like an intelligent guy but he’d never vote for a Muslim. Ha!

I also watched the first season of RANCH. Great show with conservative leanings.

LOL - I don’t think they were checking my prostate but I don’t know. I don’t have one and I don’t know how it is checked. (I don’t have brothers)

I don’t want to go into detail about the unusual happenings. I didn’t have anything gross happen, it was more like an invitation to dinner, that kind of stuff, maybe a bit more. I have friends who experienced much more.

Lol, OK I understand now :) I was joking about the prostate of course. It was kind of related to the article where they were checking for hernias in a place where women don’t get them and some of the comments being made on here. :)

The last time the Doc gave me the rubber glove he said “It’s better for both of us to get this over quickly.”

The last time a DR wore a rubber glove around me he said ‘If you want a second opinion I can use two fingers.’
