Police sent an undercover officer to gather evidence against a Las Vegas attorney accused of inappropriately touching and sexually harassing multiple employees, according to an arrest report.
The undercover investigator, posing as a client seeking a consultation on a divorce case, met with 67-year-old Douglas Crawford on May 25 at his law office on the 500 block of South Seventh Street. During the meeting, Crawford made multiple sexual comments to her, attempted to touch her buttocks and tried to kiss her on the lips, according to the Metropolitan Police Department arrest report.
Crawford was arrested the next day and was booked into the Clark County Detention Center. Prosecutors have charged him with five gross misdemeanor counts of open and gross lewdness, court records show.
Police began investigating Crawford in April after the district attorney’s office received an emailed report regarding his alleged sexual harassment, according to the arrest report. The email stated that multiple women “would like to come forward about sexual harassment, but are scared and do not know how.”
After speaking with four former employees and multiple witnesses, investigators determined that Crawford had engaged in “a pattern of inappropriate sexual behavior” with his employees.
The employees were not identified in the report, and each was referred to as “Jane Doe.”
