A former manager at Highmark is accused of stalking, indecent assault and harassment of a coworker after several incidents late last year.
According to an affidavit, Timothy Haver is accused of ejaculating several times into an unidentified woman’s mug.
The affidavit from a Highmark Health police officer states last October and November, she was harassed while working in her office on Penn Avenue.
The victim, identified as Jane Doe reported filling her mug with water and “when she took a drink, she realized that it did not taste right.”
On another occasion she confided in a coworker about the substance and both agreed it “smelled and looked like semen.”
Highmark Police then placed a hidden camera, with the victim’s permission, to monitor the mug.
Over the next several weeks, police captured video of Haver tempering with her mug on two different instances.
He was seen removing the mug and returning it a short time later. Each time she checked the mug, it had an unknown substance in it.
The mugs were swabbed for evidence and Haver agreed to speak with investigators.
After initially denying having any knowledge of the incidents, Haver was asked “was it poison or semen you put in that mug?” Haver responded “It wasn’t poison.”
The affidavit states Haver admitted to engaging in the acts “3 or 4 times”, saying he would ejaculate into the mug at home and bring it back the next morning.”
Haver said that he felt that this was his only way of getting close to her.”
Charges were filed in early December.
Highmark issued the following statement to KDKA Radio and say Haver is no longer employed by the company.
At Highmark Health, the safety and security of our valued team members in their work environment is our highest priority, and we have zero tolerance for any individual conduct or behavior that harms or threatens the well-being others. The charges recently filed resulted from a swift and thorough investigation by our police force of allegations made against a former employee. We are cooperating fully with the DA’s office in its prosecution of the case.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Tuesday but was delayed due to courts being closed because of the weather.
