San Antonio meteorologist Siobhain Anders named in sexual assault lawsuit

The woman, who will not be identified by MySA due to the nature of the lawsuit, was a sales associate at the store starting in July 2018 while she was in school. The woman, who is 26 years old now, was allegedly “first sexually assaulted and sexually abused by Doria” in 2018 when she was 22, the lawsuit states. 

The court filing says the woman was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism that can impact her ability to socially and emotionally connect with others, and the lawsuit claims that Doria “targeted [the woman] due to her autism and her lack of relationship with sophistication,” and that, due to her diagnosis, “[the woman] was confused about what was normal in both the workplace and in romantic relationships.” 

The lawsuit continues to allege the manager “employed a process of intentional, severe psychological manipulation to make [the woman] perceive Doria as a safe and concerned authority figure,” and tested her to “determine her vulnerability to victimization.” 

The woman was also reportedly warned by co-workers that she was being taken advantage of, but the lawsuit says the woman was made to believe that after her initial rape, the subsequent assaults were consensual and “were the responsibility of the [woman].” 

The lawsuit says that staff members at the store “resorted to written warnings to Buckley about the sexual and sociopathic behavior of Doria,” including allegedly dictating how the woman would dress in order to sexually exploit her.

There were also other reported incidents of sexual harassment against other staff at the store, and the court documents claim that Buckley “became an enabler for Doria,” who she allegedly had a sexual relationship with. Doria is also accused of interfering with attempts by the woman’s parents to “rescue” her. 

Doria spoke with the Express-News, where he acknowledged his sexual relationship with the woman, but disputed the claims in the lawsuit and denied that he “exploited her sexual innocence.” He also reportedly acknowledged her autism, including that she had a history of becoming “infatuated with male authority figures.”

He told the newspaper that he believes the woman’s mother instigated the lawsuit, and said that the woman did not want her mother to know about their alleged relationship “even though she was a consenting adult and everything else.” The 60-year-old also denied claims that Buckley knew of the reported incidents, recounting that Buckley told Doira she would fire him if she found out they had a sexual relationship.

The woman’s attorney, San Antonio lawyer Dennis Richard, told MySA that Doria’s comments to the Express-News “attest to the accuracy” of the claims in the lawsuit.
