Two accused Moreno and Bernie Moreno Cos. of gender and age discrimination, respectively.
The third, in which Moreno was not named, alleged race discrimination against a dealership run by a BMC subsidiary.
A campaign spokesman said that the two employees who sued Moreno directly now support his Republican U.S. Senate campaign and that Moreno, who was born in Bogotá, Colombia, prided himself on giving equal opportunities to all his workers.
Female former dealership supervisor Cara Wilson, then of Streetsboro, in Portage County, alleged Moreno repeatedly belittled her about being a mother, sometimes in front of her peers.
In response to the AP's reporting, the Moreno campaign produced an open letter signed by 23 former female employees vouching that he treated them fairly and respectfully.
