GALVESTON A former deputy constable who has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Galveston County testified in court Wednesday that he did not initially report former Precinct 7 Constable Pam Matrangas alleged lewd behavior to the countys human resources department out of embarrassment and fear that he would not be taken seriously.
James Gist, 52, said Matranga made repeated, unwanted sexual advances toward him from May to October 2011, including at least one occasion when he said the former constable pulled her shirt over Gists head and pressed her breasts against his neck.
