LEWISTON — The Maine Human Rights Commission found reasonable grounds this week to believe landlord Scott Pinkham of Phillips harassed his former tenant because of the tenant's gender identity.

According to a complaint filed with the commission by tenant Roger McIntire, Pinkham knew McIntire was transgender and harassed him in the months prior to his eviction. McIntire also alleged that Pinkham evicted him based on his gender identity, but the commission did not find grounds to support that claim.
