*Editor's note: This story has been updated.

Two weeks after the Dallas Mavericks publicly released an investigative report that confirmed "numerous instances of sexual harassment and other improper workplace conduct," the organization faces more questions about alleged inappropriate behavior by a longtime employee.

Four former female employees who spoke on the condition of anonymity said team photographer Danny Bollinger has a history of propositioning female co-workers and making lewd comments in the workplace for more than a decade.

Bollinger, 50, has worked in the Mavericks' marketing department for more than 18 years, spanning Mark Cuban's ownership. He has the title of publishing manager and has been friends with Cuban since the 1990s.

Neither Bollinger nor descriptions of his alleged behavior were included in the report on the seven-month investigation into sexual harassment within the Mavericks' business offices. The 43-page report by investigators Anne Milgram and Evan Krutoy was released Sept. 19 and covered a span of more than 20 years. It corroborated accounts that first surfaced in a Feb. 20 Sports Illustrated story and were further detailed through reporting by The Dallas Morning News.

The News first began asking questions about Bollinger's behavior Monday.

Bollinger, who did not return multiple phone calls and texts from The News requesting comment for this story, on Monday accompanied the Mavericks on their nine-day trip to China to play two exhibition games. On Thursday in Shanghai, after taking photos in the morning of Mavericks player Dirk Nowitzki at a temple, Bollinger was told he was being sent home, according to two sources who are in China with the team. He was not at any of the Mavericks' functions the rest of the day, including the team photo that was elaborately staged atop the hotel where they are staying.

As of print deadlines late Friday, Bollinger's employment status with the Mavericks was unclear.

Not included in report

Three of the women who worked for the Mavericks, and an additional female who volunteered for the team, told The News they were surprised Bollinger was not included in the report. Two said they told investigators about Bollinger's sexual advances and lewd comments. One said investigators were aware of Bollinger's reputation, confirming that an investigator first brought up his name in an interview.

Two say Bollinger propositioned them for sex multiple times, and one said he showed her inappropriate photos while at work of Mavericks dancers and female fans sitting in the front row at games.

Bollinger was hired six months after Cuban purchased the Mavericks. His relationship with the Mavericks owner predates Cuban's purchase of the team in January 2000. According to a 2002 Sports Illustrated story, Bollinger introduced Cuban to his future wife, Tiffany Stewart, in 1997. At the time, Bollinger was dating Stewart's sister, Jamie.

On Thursday, The News emailed Cuban questions regarding Bollinger and the investigation. Cuban was asked why Bollinger remained employed.

Cuban questioned whether The News had an "understanding of the processes involved in dealing with personnel issues."

"To suggest that the Mavs hid anything or didn't take an action for any reason, any whatsoever, is to claim that you believe that Cynt and the professionals she brought in are not capable of doing their jobs," Cuban said, in part, referring to CEO Cynthia Marshall, who was hired in February from AT&T to help clean up the organization. "They have, they are and will continue to do the jobs they know how to do and continue to have carte blanche to make any personnel decisions they feel the need to make in accordance with the guidelines they defined, not what any outside organization feels they should be."

Marshall said late Thursday night that the Mavericks are conducting their “own internal investigations” but did not reference Bollinger.

“We responded fully to the findings of the independent investigation and took immediate and complete action before the press conference,” Marshall said. “Our complaint processes are working and any resulting personnel action is a matter of employee privacy. We were transparent about the findings of the independent investigation. Our own internal investigations will not yield transparency. It's private. It's the normal course of doing business.”

Milgram did not return a call and email to her New York office on Monday. However, a spokesman for Lowenstein Sandler LLP did respond on Wednesday: "As noted in the final report, the Investigative Team conducted a thorough investigation and only published findings with respect to individuals who had been the subject of public allegations. For privacy reasons, we cannot publicly disclose investigation information beyond what has been released."

On Page 5 of the report, a footnote states that "over the course of our investigation into serious workplace misconduct, we deferred to the new Mavericks leadership to handle allegations of other misconduct that fell outside the scope of our investigation or that we felt would be most appropriately addressed internally."

During a news conference in Shanghai prior to the Mavericks' preseason game against Philadelphia, NBA commissioner Adam Silver explained why the Bollinger allegations were not part of the report.

"My concern level is always extraordinarily high when you're hearing stories about any inappropriate conduct in the workplace, whether those are allegations with the Mavericks or anywhere at our teams, I will say when the investigators did their review of the Mavericks' organization, they made a decision to not make public allegations that were brought by employees who chose to remain anonymous," Silver said. "And what they did at the end of the investigation was, in essence, shift to the new management of the Dallas Mavericks run by Cynthia Marshall their findings with an understanding that Cynthia Marshall then, using a more traditional human resources process, would continue to investigate particular employees and then act on them. And part of the new process we put in place with the Mavericks was an ongoing reporting obligation to the league office. Cynthia Marshall has been in constant contact with Kathy Behrens at the league office. We were aware of those additional allegations and we are monitoring how they are responding to them. But to the best of my knowledge, and I haven't talked to Cynthia in the last few days, they are well-equipped now with the new organization they put in place to do the appropriate and necessary investigations and then to act on those findings."

Three ex-employees

The investigation results primarily focused on three former Mavericks employees: president/CEO Terdema Ussery, ticket sales executive Chris Hyde and Mavs.com reporter Earl Sneed. The investigation cited numerous instances of improper workplace conduct by Ussery and Hyde and confirmed two acts of domestic violence by Sneed.

The report also detailed how the Mavericks' executive leadership was ineffective in setting compliance and internal controls, specifically citing former senior vice president of human resources Buddy Pittman and former senior vice president of ticket sales George Prokos.

"This isn't just about three bad actors," Milgram said during a Sept. 19 news conference about the investigation's findings, alluding to Ussery, Hyde and Sneed. "Yes, they were bad actors, but it is also more than that.

"This is about harm that was created to the women, plus the management's response to that harm."

The women who allege they are victims of Bollinger say that while some of his actions don't rise to the level of Ussery's and Hyde's, the continual sexual advances, lewd comments and photos made them uncomfortable and were inappropriate for the workplace.

'Outrageous' and 'uncalled for'

One former Mavericks employee who worked closely with Bollinger for more than a decade called his actions "outrageous" and "uncalled for."

She said he often propositioned her, telling her that her breasts looked great in certain outfits. She said he'd tell her he lived right around the corner "so let's go have a quickie at lunch."

She said Bollinger also often asked her about her sex life and at times would massage her shoulders without her consent. She also said that Bollinger would ask her to give him a massage or rub his shoulders while they were at work, but that she denied his requests.

The woman also said that Bollinger twice showed her inappropriate photos on his work computer. She said Bollinger would take close-up shots of Mavericks dancers' breasts or with their legs spread apart and also photograph female Mavericks fans sitting in the front row wearing low-cut tops. She said Bollinger kept the photos in a specific folder on the desktop of his work computer.

"He would show me those pictures unprovoked," she added. "It was uncomfortable. I knew those girls, and it was an invasion of privacy on their part. He would talk about if their boobs were fake or not."

She said she told investigators about some of Bollinger's actions but she never reported him to human resources during her time with the Mavericks. None of the former full-time employees who spoke to The News reported Bollinger to human resources.

In their report, investigators determined that years of a lack of control within the organization cultivated an environment in which misconduct went largely unchecked and victims felt helpless about reporting incidents to their supervisors.

Another former Mavericks employee said Bollinger often made "inappropriate comments" to her and when she was hired she was warned about Bollinger's ties to Cuban. She said she was not interviewed by investigators.

A third former Mavericks employee said she was asked about Bollinger unprovoked during her interview with investigators and told them he would often "rub against" her and was "suggestive" with his comments.

"It was known around the office," she added, "that you can't be in Danny's studio alone with him."

A female community services volunteer for the Dallas Mavericks Foundation said that early in Bollinger's tenure, he twice jumped into her vehicle as she was pulling out of a parking lot at the American Airlines Center and propositioned her for sex.

The former volunteer said Bollinger approached her car waving his arms to get her to stop. He opened her door and jumped into a passenger seat, she said, and started to come on to her. She said she told Bollinger that she was happily married with children and that he needed to get out of her car. She said she argued with Bollinger for a few minutes until he left.

The woman said she reported the incident to Pittman in human resources, who assured her he'd handle it. However, a few weeks later Bollinger again approached her car as she was leaving the parking lot. This time, she said, Bollinger walked in front of her car to get her to stop. She said she stopped because she was naive enough to think that maybe he had come to apologize for the first incident.

Instead, she said, Bollinger again started to come on to her. She said she again rejected his advances before telling him to get out of her car.

"I've never experienced someone so bold in my life," she added.

Around the same time as the first incident involving Bollinger, the volunteer was offered a full-time job by the Mavericks. But she said that shortly after she complained to Pittman about Bollinger's first sexual advance, the job offer was rescinded.

'Significant errors of judgment'

Investigators said they interviewed 215 current and former Mavericks employees and culled more than 1.6 million documents and emails.

Cuban was not found to be a perpetrator of sexual harassment, but the report did cite "significant errors of judgment" on his part and "institutional failures." Cuban has agreed to contribute $10 million to organizations committed to supporting the leadership and development of women and combating domestic violence. But the Mavericks didn't suffer any basketball-related penalties.

Pittman, the HR director, was suspended shortly after the initial Sports Illustrated report. Prokos, also a longtime friend of Cuban's, was suspended June 1, five days after an investigation by The News detailed Hyde's years of inappropriate office behavior.

During the news conference about the investigation, Marshall did not specify Pittman and Prokos but said all managers cited in the investigation were no longer with the franchise.

Wide-ranging duties

Bollinger is involved in many areas of the Mavericks operation, from taking pictures at games and player appearances, such as Nowitzki's annual visit to a children's hospital, to photographing Mavericks dancers for a swimsuit calendar. Some of Bollinger's publicity photographs have appeared in The News.

Bollinger photographs many of the Mavericks' home games and usually fewer than a dozen of their road games each season. When he does make a road trip, Bollinger travels on the team's charter. Bollinger was at the AAC on Sept. 19 to photograph Marshall and Milgram as the club announced the findings of the investigation.

The report included 13 recommendations for changes in the Mavericks organization. Milgram said at the time that the Mavericks were well on their way to completing most of those changes.

Marshall hired two women for executive positions and promoted six other female employees to similar roles, expanding female leadership with the Mavericks from 0 to 47 percent.

Marshall also put in place what she describes as a "model zero-tolerance" office culture that "uplifts, develops, promotes and encourages Dallas Mavericks women."

All employees were also required to go through respect-in-the-workplace training.

In late July, Marshall ordered that Mavericks dancers wear less-revealing uniforms and that they perform more wholesome routines.

"We want the focus to be on the dancers as artists and to highlight their skills," she said at the time, "not to be eye candy or sexualized."

In mid-May, Marshall said that when the investigation report was released she wouldn't shy away from taking action.

"This is like when I had colon cancer," she said. "I had to get the tumor out before we could start to heal. Before I even had chemotherapy. And that's what we're going to do. We'll get tumors out."
