Judge denies DiFrancesco bid to move sexual harassment case to Somerset

A move by lawyers for former Governor Donald DiFrancesco to move a sexual harassment suit against him from Essex County to Somerset County was denied.  The plaintiff, former prosecutor Michelle D'Onofio, claims DiFrancesco harassed her and ten fired him from his law firm after she filed an ethics complaint against Warren Township Municipal Court Judge Richard Sasso, a friend of the ex-Governor, for drinking on the job.  D’Onofio suggested that Judges in Somerset have too many ties to DiFrancesco and his law partner, State Senator Christopher Bateman.
