A former associate at New York's Jacobs Persinger & Parker was awarded $300,000 after a state court found that she was sexually harassed by a partner. The plaintiff testified at trial that the partner took an unusual interest in her clothing and her body, made inappropriate remarks and tried to kiss her on one occasion. The court also sustained her claim that the partner's harassment created a hostile work environment, but rejected an argument that she was fired in retaliation for her complaints.
