Evelina Medina principal Yonkers, take photos Gisselle Vasquez Giselle

“To this day, I'm not sure what made her feel so secure in asking me to do that for her,” Vasquez explained to The Post, noting that the women were not friends. “I wondered what the repercussions would be if I didn't do this. As a single parent, I considered the ramifications of saying no.”

Medina escorted the secretary into the school office the following day and directed her to take a photograph of her. Vasquez told The Post, "She hands me the phone and says, 'Close the door.'"

According to court documents, Medina then lowered her pants to her ankles, turned around, exposed her buttocks in thong underwear, and posed.

“When I returned my gaze, her pants had already fallen down,” Vasquez recalled. "I was astounded. I was at a loss for words. I truly froze. I was concerned that if I left her office immediately, there might be a student, employee, or anyone else present. Her office is located in the main office, which has a high volume of traffic.”

Medina then texted the nearly naked-butt image to Vasquez's cell phone, asking for her assistance in "editing" them, according to the complaint. “She desired to eliminate the dimples... her cellulite,” Vasquez explained to The Post.

On May 29, five days later, the principal allegedly texted Vasquez another sex shot — this time of a man lying in bed holding his erect penis. Medina "instructed" Vasquez to save the photograph as well for her.

Medina made numerous comments about her lover's penis size and how it satisfied her more than her husband's penis size, the suit states.

“Medina used my client as her personal drop-box in order to keep the sexy pictures hidden from her [Medina's] husband,” attorney Christopher Berlingieri explained. “Given the gravity of the sexual harassment here, we felt we had no choice but to bring a civil action.”

According to the federal lawsuit, Medina repeatedly showed Vasquez her iPhone and instructed her to read the XXX-rated sexts she and her lover had exchanged.

“I'm not sure why she desired that I read it. Perhaps she lacked confidants among her friends and family?” According to Vasquez, The Post. “I'm not sure why she thought it was acceptable. Perhaps she believed I was merely her secretary and that I would say or do nothing.”

Medina allegedly directed Vasquez in June to book a hotel room in Yonkers using Vasquez' credit card for the purpose of meeting her lover, according to the suit.

The suit does not name the alleged lover, and the explicit images and texts were shared with The Post rather than filed as case exhibits.

Vasquez and Sandra Guzman, an assistant principal at Dodson, were invited to a happy hour after work by the principal, and her "lover and his brother" attended. Medina advised Vasquez to date her lover's brother, according to the suit.

Vasquez told The Washington Post that she believes Medina sought "cover" for her liaison.

Vasquez "felt uneasy throughout this encounter and eventually informed Medina that she needed to leave," the complaint states.

Vasquez eventually complained to a supervisory clerk about "improper behavior." Rather than convene a meeting, [the supervisor] simply responded that the employee should submit a transfer request,” the complaint states.

Vasquez did just that on Aug. 9, according to the suit, but “received no response” from HR.

The sleazy directives continued the following month, with Medina ordering Vasquez to purchase black lingerie during her lunch break "because she had a date later in the city," according to the complaint. Medina gave Vasquez $50 and directed her to the adult store Romantic Depot.

Vasquez, who was "intimidated and uneasy," decided not to make the purchase and instead returned the money to Medina after lunch, telling her she "could not find anything," according to the suit.

Medina became increasingly brazen in her communications with her secretary, even demonstrating some of her sex moves. According to the complaint, the educator "forcefully grabbed [Vasquez] by the neck and throat in order to demonstrate what she desired to do with her lover."

Vasquez interviewed for and met with the principal of Roosevelt High School in the district in the fall of 2018. Medina approached Vasquez the following day and inquired as to why she applied for a transfer, as well as informing her that she had spoken with the Roosevelt principal and advised him not to hire Vasquez, according to court documents.

According to the lawsuit, Medina was not the only high-ranking educator who harassed her.

According to court documents, AP Guzman joked that Vasquez probably didn't have much sex, and another Dodson assistant principal, Christopher Cassano, allegedly asked her, "Have you ever done drugs?" and "How frequently do you have sex?"

While Vasquez was working in the main office with Cassano on the after-school program, Medina allegedly called the office from her car and told Vasquez, "You should give him some." Vasquez then inquired of Medina, "What are you going to give him?" Medina responded, "You are aware of what."

Cassano leaned in and attempted to kiss [Vasquez] on the lips in the back of the main office on March 29, 2019, the suit alleges. Vasquez inquired as to Cassano's whereabouts and backed away.

“He said, 'I should have done something else,' ” Vasquez told The Post.

Vasquez complained to Medina about Cassano on April 10 and filed a complaint with human resources the following day, according to the suit. Vasquez then sent an email to Superintendent of Schools Edwin Quezada on April 17 complaining about feeling "extremely uncomfortable" at Dodson and requesting a transfer, according to the suit.

He "simply responded, 'Thank you.' "

Vasquez later discovered that a Dodson teacher had a copy of her complaint on her phone and was showing it to other employees, according to the suit.

She was transferred to the Cesar E. Chavez School in April 2019. However, the suit alleges that it was in retaliation, and she was assigned to a different position with a different schedule and job title.

“I believe the move was made to avert a lawsuit. They were attempting to hide their asses,” she explained to The Post.

Vasquez's new hours were "difficult" due to her childcare obligations, and she began seeing a psychiatrist in July 2019 "as a result of the sexual harassment perpetrated by Medina, Cassano, and Guzman," the complaint alleges.

Human Resources informed Vazquez in November 2019 that her complaints were unfounded and that the investigation was "completed and closed."

In August 2020, during the pandemic, she requested a "reasonable accommodation to work remotely from home due to her disabilities of asthma, heart murmur, and anxiety," the suit states. She also included a doctor's note. Her application was denied.

Vasquez has been absent due to family obligations.

“My professionalism far exceeds that facility's expectations,” Vasquez told The Post. “I still can't believe this happened to me. I was unaware. It's unsettling. I'm repulsed and humiliated.”

Mayor Mike Spano of Yonkers named Dodson as his March 2018 school of the month, gushing that “under the leadership of Principal Evelina Medina, [it] is setting the bar for academic achievement and community engagement.”

The city of Yonkers, the school district, the Dodson and Chavez elementary schools, Medina, assistant principals Cassano and Guzman, and Superintendent Quezada are named as defendants in the lawsuit. It seeks unspecified and "uncapped" damages.

Medina, who earned $163,000 in 2019, no longer serves as principal at Dodson, according to public records. When a reporter called, the man who answered her phone hung up, and text messages were not returned.

The school district stated that it would not comment on "pending litigation" and declined to provide details about Medina's departure from her Dodson position. Cassano and Guzman were unavailable for comment.
