Former Nome police dispatcher Clarice 'Bun' Hardy has settled with the city after officers failed to investigate her report of being sexually assaulted, according to the ACLU of Alaska.
Clarice Hardy speaks at a news conference in Anchorage on Feb. 20, 2020. The former police dispatcher in the Bering Sea coastal community of Nome has settled with the city, after officers failed to investigate her report of being sexually assaulted, her legal team said Tuesday, March 22, 2022.
“The Mayor and Common Council wish to apologize to Clarice ‘Bun’ Hardy for the fact that the Nome Police Department in 2017 and 2018 failed to adequately and properly investigate her complaint of sexual assault,” the apology as presented in the settlement states. “They knew the criminal justice system was not just or fair to women, Indigenous people and sexual assault survivors, so they demanded changes,” she said. “They empowered me to share this story and to use my voice.”The Associated Press typically doesn’t identify alleged victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly, as Hardy has done., Hardy was sexually assaulted by a man she met at a bar and who accompanied her home.
She eventually left the department and filed the lawsuit against the city, Harvey and Papasodora in February 2020.
