Harassers May Be Personally
Liable In Certain Circumstances,
Court Says


"Under certain circumstances, employees who sexually
harass a co-worker may be held personally liable for
damages."

Citing the case  Stordeur v. Computer Associates
International, Inc., 995 F. Supp. 94 (E.D.N.Y. 1998),
the article says that the court found that the supervisor,
who had retaliated against the plaintiff by threatening
her job, assigning her menial tasks outside of her job
assignment, and verbally humiliating her in front of
other employees, could be sued personally "as an
aidor and abettor" under state law.
