Former KUSI Anchor Sandra Maas filed a lawsuit yesterday against her former station claiming gender discrimination.

According to the lawsuit, Maas' male counterpart was paid more than $90,000 than she was.

Maas claims McKinnon Broadcasting failed to prevent discrimination and has taken legal action.

In the suit, Maas claims her complaints to human resources and management went nowhere and her request for a raise to be on par with her male counterpart led to her being fired last month.

KUSI News' Steve Cohen, who is named in the lawsuit, said the station had not been served with any lawsuit and so had no comment at this time.
