from www.examiner.com – A St. Louis woman was awarded $95 million Friday from an incident dating back to 2006 where a lawsuit claims her boss, “intentionally removed his penis from his pants and intentionally proceeded to hit Plaintiff on the top of her head with his penis” and in another instance, ejaculated on her chest. The incidents took place at an Aaron’s rent-to-own furniture store located in Fairfield Heights, Illinois.
Ashley Alford [pictured] claims her boss, Richard Moore, threw her down on the floor, pulled up her blouse while he held her down and masturbated onto her chest. Alford saved the tissue used to wipe off the semen which matched Moore’s with a DNA analysis.
According to the lawsuit, Moore allegedly also said inappropriate things to Alford, made sexual advances and held her by the ponytail as he placed his penis on her forehead.
After three days of deliberations in a Southern District of Illinois courtroom, Alford was awarded $95 million ,in what her attorney’s believe is the largest ever in an individual sexual harassment case.
Chad Strickland, Vice President of Associate Resources for Aaron’s, Inc,made a statement regarding the lawsuit:
“Aaron’s is extremely disappointed with the jury’s verdict and believes that the award does not accurately reflect the evidence that was presented in this case.”
The lawsuit awarded Alford $15 million in compensatory damages and $80 million in punitive damages. The lawsuit may be capped at $43 million, due to federal limit being placed on harassment claims, thereby reducing the award by more than half.
Alford reported the incidents to the employee harassment hotline, in which the lawsuit claims, the company never got back with her to resolve the issues. At one point another manager threatened Alford because she had a made a complaint—even though she had followed company guidelines.
