CASPER, WYOMING - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says that a Gillette-based company has agreed to pay $45,000 to settle a male-on-male sexual harassment lawsuit.

The EEOC filed the lawsuit against Cyclone Drilling charging that it subjected a male employee to ongoing sexual harassment from a male supervisor. Both the employee and the supervisor worked at a Cyclone facility on Colorado's Western Slope.

Although Cyclone agreed to pay to settle the lawsuit, a company spokesman says the company still strongly denies the sexual harassment allegations. The spokesman says that the alleged sexual harrassment amounted to nothing more than horseplay.
