Criminal Minds Lawsuit And Sexual Harassment At CBS

By Jenna Shifflett, James Madison University, Class of 2021

June 1, 2020

The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing recently filed a sexual harassment lawsuit, based in Los Angeles County, against the producers and studios responsible for the production of the hit CBS drama Criminal Minds. This discrimination suit names CBS Studios, ABC Studios, and the Walt Disney Company, alleging that all companies involved knowingly facilitated an environment in which Criminal Minds cinematographer Greg St. Johns was able to sexually harass crew members for over 14 years [1]. Though the lawsuit was only recently filed, the cinematographer’s harassing tendencies have actually been public knowledge for several years now. Greg St. Johns, titled as director of photography for the show, had been a long standing presence on the set of Criminal Minds. Allegations against St. Johns first surfaced in 2018, in the form of an intense exposé published by Variety.

In 2018 -- preceding the return to air of the new season of Criminal Minds -- St. Johns was still acting director of photography, despite numerous reported claims of abusive behavior on set [2]. Variety interviewed several crew members regarding their experiences working with St. Johns. A digital imaging technician, Tony Matulic, alleged that he was fired from the show in retaliation for speaking up against St. Johns after the cinematographer grabbed him on the behind [3]. Over his eight seasons working on Criminal Minds, Matulic said that St. Johns frequently touched him and other crew members inappropriately [4]. After Matulic defended himself against St. Johns, insisting that he had to stop touching him, he was told that his position on the crew was being eliminated [5]. Variety reported various other instances in which crew members that reported St. Johns for harassment were not asked to return for work in subsequent seasons.

Until now, there had been little information released regarding the accusations against St. Johns. The recent lawsuit focuses on his previous behaviors, stating that St. Johns engaged in rampant sexual misconduct against crew members for years [6]. Following the initial report of his harassment by Variety, St. Johns was removed from his position on Criminal Minds. It is unclear if he left by his own choice, left with “advanced severance,” or was directly fired. The lawsuit states that “it was not until the media made St. Johns’ conduct public and threatened their image, that [he] was removed from the show” [7]. The program, produced by CBS and Disney’s ABC Signature Studios, ran on CBS from 2005 until early this year. The lawsuit holds CBS, Disney, and ABC responsible because, during this timeframe, they allegedly aided St. Johns in “creating an unchecked intimidating, hostile, and offensive work environment” [8]. The lawsuit also names four executive producers on Criminal Minds -- Erica Messer, Harry Bring, Breen Frazier and Glenn Kershaw-- and co-producer Stacey Beneville [9]. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing claims that complaints made by crew members to human resources, complaints which executives were allegedly aware of, never resulted in any form of discipline against St. Johns. Instead, much like what happened to Tony Matulic, many complaints resulted in termination of employment for said crew members.

CBS sexual harassment and abuse claims do not begin and end with Criminal Minds. In fact, sexual abuse claims have knowingly been prevalent throughout CBS for years. In 2018, the same year claims against Criminal Minds cinematographer Greg St. Johns first surfaced, the Chairman and CEO of CBS was also being accused of sexual harassment and abuse. The now former Chairman and CEO, Les Moonves, was accused by six women of sexual harassment. Four women said he initiated forcible touching or kissing during business meetings, while two additional women reported that he physically intimidated and threatened them in an attempt to harm their careers [10]. The systematic abuse of Moonves enabled this behavior to happen on other CBS programs, including CBS News and 60 Minutes. Under the leadership of Moonves, men at CBS News that were accused of sexual misconduct were promoted to higher positions [11]. Reported harassment at CBS could date as far back as 1998; the year that Actress Cybill Shepherd alleges CBS canceled her show Cybill because she rejected Moonves’ advances [12]. Les Moonves resigned in September of 2018 following the numerous allegations. Despite his resignation, the recent Criminal Minds lawsuit shows that CBS has taken little supplemental initiative to correct the systematic harassment present within their network. Will a lawsuit targeted at one of their most popular programs be what it takes to spark change?

The story of Yung Lenox: Rap's most prolific (7-year-old) portraitist. Described by LA Weekly as the 'Foremost Doodler of Rap', this hilariously endearing film follows Seattle's 7-year-old rap portraitist, Yung Lenox, and his Dad, Skip - an unconventional artistic duo simultaneously navigating the tumultuous worlds of rap and modern-day-parenting. Through Lenox's eyes, ears and encounters with rappers such as Kool Keith and Cam'ron, the film presents an innocent entry point into the idolized and often explicit world of hip hop. It reconsiders the age-old parental advisory debate and the realities of a kid growing up in an adult world. As Skip confronts criticism about his intentions and parenting, Lenox remains unfazed. In his world, art is 'medium important' compared to school, Lego's and Minecraft. And that's why the kid is everyone's favorite artist. Directed by Stacey Lee & Anthony Mathile DP: Jacob Rosen Producer: Stacey Lee Associate Producers: Corbett Jones, Anna Rau, Jacob Rosen, Marina Cukeric Additional Camera: Frank Mobilio Editor: Anthony Mathile, Matthew Charof Supervising Editor: Joe Peeler Music Composition: Aaron Stein-Chester Audio Post Production: One Thousand Birds Sound Editing / Mixing: Andrew Tracy, Calvin Hunting Pia Colorist: Matt Conrad Stills Photography: Brook Fetch, Jordan Nicholson, Skip Class Title Design: Nicci Martinez, Hannah Souter Poster Design: Jon Santos Special Thanks: Carmody Brothers, Spencer Breen, Erik Perry, British Young, Lee Gibson, Karie Higgins, Andrew Gurguis, From the Range Films Starring: Yung Lenox, Skip Buringrad, Megan Bingham, Cam'ron & Kool Keith

Costa Blanca Bowls Roundup WE 10 November 18

Country Bowls Club by Jo Richardson The Flamingos travelled to Greenland’s on Monday in good spirits. Our old sister club is blessed with some fine bowlers and so the morning progressed with each rink being keenly contested. By early afternoon, however, the game had taken on a different look and the Flamingos went on to record another fine away win. Results are; Rink 4 – Sylvia Rennie, Dave Smith and Jim Rennie 11 – 21, Rink 5 – Pat Ray, Peter Robins and Brian Ray 30 – 21, Rink 6 – Ben Noke, Pat Emmet and Ray Emmet 20 – 13, Rink 7 – Dennis Wade, Les Turner and Phil Warrington 20 – 21, Rink 8 – John Jukes, Derek Jiggins and Geoff Paylor 23 – 28 Friday saw the Gecko’s arriving at the club to a green that had experienced a wild hailstorm through the night and Graham, the owner of Country Bowls, working the carpet brush to clear the sitting water and make the green playable. After a couple of hours of hard work the game was back on. San Miguel were tough opposition coming to Country Bowls from a great win against the top of the league team Mazarron Miners. The Gecko’s played hard and fought to the end in very difficult high winds resulting in a great win. The Gecko’s winning teams were Pat Patton, Den Wade and Brian Patton. 26 – 10, Ben Noke, Pat Ray and Brian Ray. 22 – 18, And Brenda Jiggins, Derek Jiggins and Ray Emmet. 18 – 13. With a total of 95 shots against San Miguel on 88,the Gecko’s enjoyed a welcome 8 – 4 win. Our second game on Friday were the Cubs away to Vista Bella Conquistadors on a very windy afternoon. Whilst the bowls ran straight on one hand and swung far on the other, it took both teams all their skills and talent just to play to the jack. A closer game could not have been predicted with Country Bowls taking the shot difference of 6 and winning on 3 rinks. Overall score 8 – 4 to the Cubs. Winning rinks Joel Fernandez, Craig Dyson and Andy Bryce, Chris Stevens, Dot Davies and Peter Robins, and lastly Rob Hallam, Dave Smith and Niel West.

Peter Parsons, Don Fowkes and Barbara Forshaw had admirable draw at 20 – 20. Then away went the Pathfinders to play Vistabella  Eagles and came away 12 – 0 winners much to the delight of Captain Jean  Perchard and Hubby Terry who won 18 – 11 with  help from Margaret Sadler. Not to be out done Barry Sadler, Dave McGaw and Desna Lowe won 26 – 14. Dave Hadaway, Bernie Carr and Jean Tregoing won 18 – 12 while John Withers, Mike Lowe and  Reg Jackson managed one less 17 – 12.  Garth Slater, Paul Tregoing and Trevor Hancock had a nice 22 – 14 win.  This puts the Pathfinders at the top of the Discovery League. Tuesday was Race Night; It started out as Rat Racing and has since progressed to its present form of Monkey Racing. I daren’t comment how it got that name.  Over eighty people attended and it was an extremely funny and jovial evening with all punters having a great time. Sue Freeman was the overall Champion Jockey closely followed by Trevor Hancock.  Thanks to all members who put in the time and effort to make it such a success.  Not much success in the Winter league when we travelled up to Javea being beaten 10 – 2.  Our winning rink was Don Fowkes, Peter Parsons, Jean Fowkes and Jan Parsons, well done to them.  Come Friday and in the Southern League Div  A the Ospreys cut the Greenland Oaks down to size with a 12 – 0 whopping.  Rumour has it that the Captain might not get another game this year the way things are going. Roy Hart, Don Fowkes and Barbara Forshaw won 31 – 9.  Peter Parsons, Wendy Latham and Anne Stone 18 – 15 winners.  Mike Stone (the man in form), Cliff Rawlinson and Janet Parsons had a fine 15 – 10 win.  Alex Whyte, Jim Reeves and Kathy Manning came back to win 23 – 18.  Shirley Hadaway, Phil Pape and Margaret McLaughlin had a good win 21 – 10.

Winter League at home to BBC and although we lost, it wasn’t a disaster as we achieved four points. Colin Armitage, Dave Taylor, Richard Robinson and Lynne Armitage beat that brilliant Jeff Richards. One of our oldest players, Alan Castle led his rink of Phil Pape, Carol Smith and Kathy Manning to an 18-16 win. The Berleen Boys did it again winning by one. So well done Alex Whyte, Jim Freeman, Mike Surch and Dave Bulfield.

Friday here again and little trip down the road for the Dolphins to play La Manga Crusaders and they surprised a few folk by getting four points. Don Harrison, Reg Jackson and Trevor Hancock a 16-11 win and the travellers return, Barry & Margaret Sadler that is plus Garth Slater with a two shot advantage. Well done the Dolphins.

The Seagulls at home to the San Miguel Cougars lost in a very close game by two shots. Our top rink was Dave Taylor, Gina Hindle and Lynne Armitage. The other two winning rinks won by just one shot each so well done Terry Perchard, Berni Carr and Barbara Forshaw plus John Morgan, Clive Pratt and Dave Bulfield.

The Sharks are the tops this week with a 14-0 beating at home of the San Luis Tigers. Should just about get all the triumphant names in. So well done Alex Whyte, Dave Hadaway, and Maureen Kidd. Dave Lewis, Jim Manning and Margaret McLaughlin. Margaret & Rob Finlayson plus Hilary Cronk. Peter Parsons, Tom Spencer and Andy Bartlett. Alan Castle, Phil Pape and Janet Parsons. And our top lot, Shirley Hadaway, John Mallett and Kathy Manning.

EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB.

The Pintos started their week with a home fixture against La Siesta Apollos and what a glorious day it was. It was a tight match on play, with most of us I think playing some good woods, but also some that we could hardly believe, a little tricky I think. But we did hold off the opposition to take the rinks 5-1 and the overall shots. Meanwhile the broncos were playing away at Horadada against the Falcons and had a tough match, but played well enough to come away with 2 rinks, always a good away result.

Friday found the Mustangs playing at Quesada against the Swifts and a very pleasant morning it was in good company. As you would expect the Swift took advantage of the home mat, but the Mustangs did manage to come away with 2 rinks and not a great deficit in overall shots. June Whitworth, Jane Hamill and Stew Hamill 20-22. Bob Morgan, Keith Cunningham and David Whitworth 15-18. Ann Taylor, Malc Sykes and Jim Gracie 12-21. Irene Thomson, Jim Taylor and Eddie Thomson 18-14. Barbara Jones, Sheila Cooper and Geoff Jones 8-22. Henry Ryder, Jan Bright and Richard Lee 21-11.

Meanwhile the Raiders entertained Greenland Cedars and both played well to take 3 rinks each, with the Raiders taking the overall shots by a small margin. Gill Bartlett, Bob Easthope and Rob Clark 19-12. Ann C Taylor, Shirley Edwards and Bob Taylor 21-13. Pam Harris, Malc Elmore and Brian Harris 23-7. Marion Haynes, Diane Yates and Dave Haynes 12-14. Ria Dukker, Peter Blackburn and Keith Longshaw 14-20. Tricia Elsam, Tony Robinson and Graham Day 11-28.

La Siesta Bowls Club By Rod Edgerton

The Apollos travelled to the notoriously difficult El Rancho rink to play the Pintos and only managed to win on one rink. Our winning rink was Beryl Styring, Norman Adcroft and Alex Morrice who mastered the conditions to win by 18 shots to 13.The overall shots score being 85-131.However, despite this loss the Apollos still have a good chance of finishing as league runners up.

The Pioneers entertained the Emerald Isle Moonrakers and in a close contest the rinks were shared with Moonrakers picking up the overall score by 109 shots to 96. The winning rinks for La Siesta were Hilary Clarke, Molly Russell and Rab Logan 31-8, Penny Porter, Alan Ralph and John Clarke 20-12 and in a nailbiting finish Ken Stringfellow, Rod Edgerton and Johnnie Ryder won by a single shot 19-18.

The Hoopoes were away against league leaders San Luis and won on a single rink thereby gaining 2 points. The winning rink was Robert and Ann Heath together with Tony Dalton and John Ball. Barbara and Bill Cooper with Sue Jordan and Mike Edwards needed a hot shot on the final end to gain a valuable draw, and they nearly managed it getting 7 on the final end, thereby losing to a single shot.

The Winter League team travelled to Emerald Isle and unfortunately met with a disappointing 12-0 defeat. Let’s hope for better fortune next week.

COSTA BLANCA BOWLS ROUNDUP - 25 FEB 17

EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB

The Pintos, on Monday, played host to the Greenland Sycamores on a horrendous day for bowls, with a strong gusting and cold wind. But the Pintos having the advantage of the home mat, adjusted to the conditions sooner than their worthy opponents and took 5 rinks and the overall shots, well worth getting out of bed for.

Meanwhile the Broncos travelled to the Emerald Isle to play the Moonrakers in very difficult conditions on an away mat, but although they came away without a point, the ones I spoke to this morning had enjoyed the experience and one or two had been close matches.

Friday morning brought the Vistabella Conquistadors to El Rancho to play the Raiders, alas the opposition failed to provide a full team and conceded one rink, but took two, and hence the Raiders took the points by 10-4. Helga Schiffman, Gill Bartlett and Rob Clark drew the conceded rink and I am sure would rather have played. Pam Harris, Malc Elmore and Brian Harris 19-14. Marion Haynes, Diane Yates and Dave Haynes 13-18. Edward Elsam, Tony Robinson and Graham Day 18-10. Ngaio  Baldwin, Bob Easthope and Gary Newson 23-14. Tricia Elsam, Peter Blackburn and Keith Longshaw 16-23.

In the afternoon the Mustangs played host to the Emerald Isle Claymores, struggled a little without complaint, to master the speed of the mat. Though they played well and took 2 rinks, although some of the scores had large points differentials, the game play was close.  Judy Foley, Keith Cunningham and Geoff Jones 15-10. Barbara Jones, Sheila Cooper and Jane Hamill 15-22. Ann Taylor, Malc Sykes and Jim Gracie 34-8. Irene Thomson, Jim Taylor and Eddie Thomson 33-7. Maxine Wright, John Skipper and Rod Wright 14-21. Henry Ryder, Jan Bright and Richard Lee 26-6.

LA MARINA REPORT BY BARRY LATHAM

This week has started off a bit like last week. Oops. The Explorers wended their way to the place on the hill only to lose 11-3 at Vistabella Albatrosses. I’m sure there is a saying about Albatross. Margaret & Rob Finlayson plus Maureen Kidd managed a draw, Jim & Kathy Manning and Reg Jackson drew while our winning rink comprised of Dave Hadaway, Arthur Cronk and the inevitable Anne Stone.

Next came the Pathfinders who went to play at San Miguel Comets and lost 10-4. Two winners were John Rae, Mick Fitzgerald and Lynne Armitage 18-10 and David Taylor, Dave McGaw and Lorita Rae 22-16.  Hooray for the Raes.

Okay so they don’t need us, extra holiday then. Well done to the Winter League at home versus San Miguel with a10-2 win. John Mallet, Peter Parsons, Roger Stacey and Maureen Kidd won19-15; the Armitages  and the Taylors combined together to get 25-12 win; Dave Hadaway with his happy girls, Kathy Manning, Barbara Forshaw and Janet Parsons won18-15 and Alan Castle, Phil Pape, the Butlers won 22-9. No mention of Anne. San Miguel won the Berleen.

What a good Friday. All three teams winning. The Sharks played away against Vistabella Lanzadores and a close game it was, one rink drew, two others lost by one and one won by a lot. The big winner was Alan Castle, Phil Pape and Janet Parsons 32-6. The other winners were Margaret and Rob Finlayson and Hilary Cronk; Alex Whyte, Dave Hadaway and Dave O’Sullivan while the ones who drew were Roy Hart, Peter Parsons and Andy Bartlett.

The Dolphins entertained La Siesta Blues and won a closely fought match with the two points for the overall score. John Rae, Dave McGaw and Roger Stacey won 18-15; Brian Duff, Martin Butler and Maria Duff won 19-11 while John and Shirley Withers and Angela Butler made sure we won the overall with a 27-6 win.

Last but not least the Seagulls nearly got their revenge when La Manga Crusaders visited us. 12-2 winners we were. Len Daniels, Steve Hindle and Berni Carr 29-12; Keep it in the family, Sue Daniels, Mike Stone and Mo Taylor 32-11; John Morgan, Clive Pratt and Dave Bulfield 31-6; Colin Armitage, Arthur Cronk and Anne Stone 23-10; Dave Taylor, Gina Hindle and Lynne Armitage 22-15.

LA SIESTA BOWLS CLUB BY ROD EDGERTON

The week began with no fixture for the Pioneers and so the only match involved the Apollos who had a home match,in very windy weather, against Emerald Isle Neptunes.Despite convincing wins for Barbara and Jack Cooper with Vic Mahomet 32-6 and Irene Laverick with Pat and Brian Harman 20-12 the only other point came from Ann and Robert Heath who rescued a draw 18-18 with a final end getting four shots.The overall shots being 97-110.The points 9 to the Isle 5 to La Siesta.

Mixed fortunes in The Fed 4’s with the Hoopoes gaining a 6-2  home win against Montemar whilst the Parakeets lost away at Horadada by the same scoreline. Wins for the Hoopoes came from Rod Edgerton,Bill Jordan with Florence and Mike Edwards 23-7 and by Val Dalton,Norman Adcroft Jack Cooper and George Richardson 18-14 whilst Ann and Robert Heath with Tony Dalton and Vic Mahomet lost by a single shot. The winning rink for the Parakeets,in tricky conditions, at Horadada came from Joy and Brian Gardiner with Tony Campbell and Jean Cooper 17-14.

The Winter League saw the visit of Vistabella to our home and they gained revenge from the reverse fixture with a 10-2 win. Our winning rink was Joy Gardiner,Trish Reilly with Bill and Sue Jordan who won 25-15.Bad luck for the rink of Ann Edgerton, Jack Cooper,Pat Reilly and Mike Edwards who lost by a single shot in a match that was in doubt until the skips delivered their last bowl.

The Blues travelled to La Marina to play the Dolphins and suffered a narrow 8-6 reverse the shots score being a close 85-93. Winning rinks for La Siesta were Ann and Robert Heath with Pat Harman 23-9,Joy Gardiner,John Taylor and Jean Cooper 16-8 and Barbara Cooper,Vic Mahomet and Mike Edwards 14-12.

Not such good news for the Golds who lost their away match at Emerald Isle Outlaws without recording any winning rinks.On the day they faced some excellent bowling by their opponents.

Finally,some good news to report one of our stalwart members Roy Millward is at last out of hospital and on his way to recovery, although not yet available to receive visitors.We look forward to seeing both him and Sheila back on the rink as soon as possible.

EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB.

The week started with The Broncos entertaining La Siesta Pioneers and played very well to take 5 rinks and the overall shots, a good result on a difficult day. As we know the losing rink can be just down to the luck of the rink and opponents draw. Meanwhile The Pintos were at Emerald Isle playing the Titans and although play was a mixed bag, though sufficient had a good day to enable us to come away with 2 rinks, never a bad away result.

On Friday the Raiders had a bye. Whilst the Mustangs were at Country Bowls playing the Gheckos, the mat was playing unexpectedly narrow and fast whilst heavy with due, but slowed down rapidly and widened as it quickly dried.

With several close run rinks the Mustangs came away with one rink and a draw, of course results can often be a result of rink and opponent draw as well as play. Judy Foley, Keith Cunningham and Geoff Jones 16-18. Barbara Jones, Sheila Cooper and Carolyn Harris 15-17. Ann Taylor, Malc Sykes and Jim Gracie 21-16. Irene Thomson, Jim Taylor and Eddie Thomson 12-21. June Whitworth, Jane Hamill and Stew Hamill 17-17. Bob Morgan, Merv Armstrong and David Whitworth 14-19.
