Suit Alleges IRS Agent Coerced Man into Sex

'If he would give her what she wanted, she would give him what he needed'

An Oregon man has filed a lawsuit claiming that a female IRS agent coerced him into checking boxes unrelated to his tax bill: namely, hers.

40-year-old Vincent Burroughs of Fall Creek brought the suit that charges IRS staffer Dora Abrahamson with pressuring Burroughs to perform sexual favors. In exchange, he claims, she'd forgo assessing any financial penalties as a consequence of his audit. While initially resistant to her solicitations, Burroughs admits to caving when Abrahamson showed up at his door in "provocative" clothing and threatened punishment for failure to, er, comply.

"She told (Burroughs) that she could be a bitch, or that she could be nice," reads the suit. "She said that she could impose no penalty, or a 40 percent penalty, and that if he would give her what she wanted, she would give him what he needed."

The suit, which claims the tryst did serious harm to his relationship with the man's "significant other," was not addressed by an IRS spokesman, who refused to comment when queried by reporters.

Is sexual harassment targeting men a bigger problem than we think?

[Food4thoughts]

*gasp* I'm offended for him!

[JustTheFacts]

You would be if it were a gay man ... yeah ... the door swings both ways ... lol!

[Food4thoughts]

@JustTheFacts
Why would I be offended if it were a gay man?

When I was with the Newspaper a woman told me that if I didn't take her out that she would call my wife and tell her I did. That was in the early 1980's. NOBODY would believe that a woman would sexually harass a man. So I just told my wife and started documenting the woman and didn't take long. Fired her ass and she lost the sexual harassment suit she filed. Don't think it doesn't happen.

Our culture loves to make victims of women and predators of men. Take the violence against women act. Why do they get special treatment? Men aren't victims of violence? Men don't deserve the same protection women do?

[morphine-bunni]

@norezen i do agree that our country loves to make women into victims. i think the "violence against women act" is a bunch of bullsh*t. however, i do not think they should come up with a "violence against men act" just because women have one. a man is a man, and something like that would only further feminize America's already p*ssy, feminized excuses for men.

@morphine-bunni Bahaha.....love that last line....well said!

[norezen]

@morphine-bunni I doubt that having equal rights under the law would affect the behavior of men too much. It just means that if they do find themselves the victims of violence the crime is investigated, the criminal must pay restitution, and if prosecutors don't prosecute, they face civil redress.
When a man is the victim of violence, police and prosecutors frequently don't bother to investigate or prosecute. I was attacked outside of a movie theater once. Complete random assault. I was able to defend myself, but not before my tooth was chipped. The police let the assailants go with a warning (no one was seriously hurt - they apparently had attacked some other people too) but I had to pay to have my tooth repaired.

[jessejaymes]

@stepped_in_it You know we're kinda damned if we do and damned if we don't. During my band/guitar days I was partial to big breasted, long legged blondes and most of them that followed bands around were totally nuts. People used to accuse me of being shallow (imagine that) and going through those blondes like a rat thru a maze. But the truth was I was constantly walking on them because I refused to be beat on the second they were out of drugs and coming down or because they didn't have the money for larger breasts or hair extensions and I wouldn't give to to them. I had to walk or hit back. I never once hit back. But there were a few times I would have liked to and a couple that deserved it. But I didn't and walked. So what was the result of that? Got called a womanizer. Oh well. It is what it is. The world of women claiming to be second class citizens while they set in the pilots seat and run the world. The money may be in the hands of men but we know where the power is located.

Hey Politix? How you supposed to respond to another poster when on the "forum page"?

[FenceSitter K]

Hi jessejaymes, are you using Firefox by chance? There's a known bug that doesn't display the reply button for this browser, and our Engineers are working on it.

[FenceSitter K]

@jessejaymes This bug should be squashed now, let us know if you notice anything strange.

[jessejaymes]

[Keyjo]

How much you wanna bet she weighed in excess of 300 lbs?

[Denizen_Kate]

Crass and mean, Keyjo. I thought you were better than that.

[stepped_in_it]

@Denizen_Kate He is.....but 300 lbs....wow! LOL

[Keyjo]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[HooverNiebold]

I'm guessing butterface. Ain't her fault tho.

[SignifiedNBlue]

I know the other side. A disgusting greasy pig who couldnt get laid by anyone but a dried up druggie accused me LOL! I responded " not with someone elses" this jerk probably owes big time. Trying to get out of paying. Game is played on both sides

[MongoAPillager]

once again a snapshot of the possible felon is need for an honest opinion

[Denizen_Kate]

Only if a snapshot of the accuser is included.

[MongoAPillager]

@Denizen_Kate fair enough

[mtkopf]

I believe to fully adjudicate this case I must see the plaintiff was n "the provocative dress" that she showed up at his door wearing.

[MongoAPillager]

@MotoGP Hear! Hear! Let justice rule the day!!

[stepped_in_it]

I knew it, I knew it! Along with taking my money and all my possessions, the IRS would take my virginity.....dang, I've been saving it for 56+ years!

[Denizen_Kate]

BWAAAHahahahahahaha! As if!

[marine1]

You should have known that the IRS is good at bending people over the stump,they have been doing it for years,

[marine1]

Where do you think the term, Stump Broke came from?

[stepped_in_it]

@marine1 Always said, if ya gonna "do" me, kiss me first!

[PNWest]

Has anyone mentioned the fact that we all feel screwed by the IRS, particularly around April 15th?

[stepped_in_it]

Yep. April 16th, the morning after pill sells out at all drug stores!

[ConserveUSA]

Yep! Good one PNWest!!!!

[ConserveUSA]

@stepped_in_it Great! I hear ya!!!!!:)

Maybe yet, more babies born.

[bsking]

She must be a real pooch.

:-O

[DARSB]

I've been a nurse a long time. Yup, this stuff happens - a lot.

[Medicinebow]

I guess this gives new meaning to the "long form" and "gains".

[Denizen_Kate]

PolitixDain, "checking boxes unrelated to his tax bill: namely, hers." That's more than just a little crude, and not very clever. I expect better from you.

[bsking]

Come on out Kate lighten up... it was kinda clever

:-O

[thatgirl]

@bsking Its clever if you're Beavis or Butthead....

[bsking]

@thatgirl are you threatening me?

[thatgirl]

@bsking Only if you're high.......are you high?

[JimCO55]

LOL ... Michael Douglas had that same problem in the movie Disclosure and left his phone on recording the action to a friends answering machine, perhaps he shoulda watched more movies ;-)

[thatgirl]

Without pics of the parties involved, this poll is pointless.

[Romney_Rube]

At the IRS, Dora was known as the "Buffalo."

[Keyjo]

LOL.....
Okay, is this for real or did you make it up?

[seedtick]

What makes so many people think that women are never sexual predators. Yeoooow, enter the cougar.

[Yank]

We know from female teachers having affairs with male students that this does happen (not just cougars).

[seedtick]

@Yank Oh, they are no different than men. Especially in today's world. I wonder what the actual ratio is of men to women acting as sexual predators. No doubt men will be in the lead, but I do wonder how women are doing.

[NTBFW]

This is news? The IRS has been screwing me for years. I didn't realize I could sue.

[botsmom]

Yep we missed out on victim lotto. Damn the luck.

[Vance1]

The entire GOV IRS is a corrupted ball of liberal slime

[LGRepublican]

My guess is that if this agent looked like Kate Beckinsale or Mila Kunis this guy wouldn't be complaining......

[tomincali]

kick we get screwed by the irs every year,even makes matters worst when hearing those who work a few weeks out of the year and get refunds paying them more than they even made.

[tomincali]

meant heck not kick.
