PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – WPRO talk show host John DePetro is being sued by a co-worker for sexual harassment.

Producer Dee DeQuattro filed the lawsuit against DePetro and the Radio Station's Management in Providence Superior Court on Friday.

DeQuattro claims DePetro made unwanted sexual advances towards her and that management did not conduct a thorough investigation.

Depetro's Lawyer Timothy Dodd told Eyewitness News "John is completely innocent, not a party to any misconduct, and the allegations made against him are false. John DePetro expects to be completely exonerated."
