Two women who worked as secretaries for a local automotive business have settled their sexual harassment lawsuit.
Lizzie Brown and Marilyn Alvarez were secretaries at Drexel Diesel Service.
Brown complained that the owner, Jim Carrillo, was sexually harassing both women, touching them and propositioning them for sex.
When Brown complained, she was fired.
Investigators say Carrillo retaliated by denying both women their wages and accusing them of financial improprieties.
Thursday the Arizona Attorney General's office announced a settlement had been reached with Drexel Diesel.
It includes dropping the charges against the women and paying each a confidential amount of money.
