Restaurant exec accused of sexual harassment


Raleigh, NC — The founder of one of the state's largest barbecue and fried chicken restaurant chains tried to coerce a former male employee into a homosexual relationship, the former employee testified Wednesday in a civil trial.
Jason Hallaman sued Gregory Moore (pictured), the founder of Smithfield's Chicken 'n Bar-B-Q, three years ago, claiming that Hallaman had been fired as Moore's personal assistant because he repeatedly rebuffed his boss' sexual advances. Moore has denied the allegations and countersued, and the trial in the case began Wednesday in Wake County.
Two other former Smithfield's employees, both men, also filed sexual harassment lawsuits against Moore. One was settled, and the second hasn't gone to trial yet.
