29. On January 10, 2022, Plaintiff again emailed Mr. Adams, stating that it had been six months and the job was still not posted. 30. Mr. Adams replied to Plaintiff, stating that the job would be posted. 31. However, Adams never had any intent of ever hiring an older gay male. 32. Upon information and belief, Adams, succumbing to his sexual attraction to young females he supervises, decided to use the position of a Big Island Film Commissioner, over which he essentially had a complete control over hiring, as a recruitment tool to satisfy his sexual attraction and decided to only hire young attractive unqualified women of color so he can "supervise' them and look at them daily. 33. Adams, upon learning about Plaintiff and his interest in the Film Commissioner, even though Adams himself admitted that Plaintiff's experience and qualifications were impressive, decided to pathologically lie to everyone around him and make every effort to stop Plaintiff from NOT only being hired, but from even being interviewed for the position. 34. Since he could not admit to his desire to ONLY hire young unqualified women of color to ogle them under his supervision publicly for the film commissioner position, and since he could not be honest about the true nature of his planned recruiting strategy, Adams decided to pathologically lie to everyone around him including Hawaii County Council members. 35. On October 19, 2021, already knowing of Plaintiff's interest and his impressive qualifications, Adams went to the Hawaii Council and provided pathologically false testimony designed to hide his sexual motivations relating to the Film Commissioner Position. 36. During the October 19, 2021 testimony to Hawaii County Council, Adams pathologically lied to Council claiming they were actively recruiting for the Film Commissioner position. -7- EXHIBIT "A" Pg7 Page 7 of 25
