If the corporate-influenced Supreme Court will not hold major corporations accountable for for their structural gender discrimination, the people will.
In East St. Louis, a Federal jury (that's a bunch of citizens) awarded (that means they decided what to hand to the victim) a 20 year-old rental store clerk $95 million on claims that sexual harassment by her boss at a Fairview Heights rent-to-own store ended in a sexual assault.
Ashley Alford alleged that her supervisor Richard Moore began using "pet names" for her eventually leading to a sexual assault during which Moore held the plaintiff down and masturbated and ejaculated on top of her.
Aaron's Rents Inc., Richard Moore and Bard Martin were the alleged parties responsible for the plaintiff's sexual harassment and assault.
The incidents that led to the suit took place while Alford worked at the company's Fairview Heights store between 2005 and 2006.
The 20 year-old woman claimed that Aaron's had knowledge of Moore's conduct and that it violated the company's own sexual harassment policies.
She claims Moore harassed and assaulted her.
She claims that Martin did not take action to discipline Moore or remove him from his employment.
The plaintiff's suit contains eleven counts of retaliation, sexual harassment and other claims.
The plaintiff sought damages in excess of $75,000 per count and punitive damages as relief. And the jury delivered a clear statement about sexual harassment with their punitive award. Something that SCOTUS is too corrupt to do.
The jury's total verdict amounts to $95 million.
The jury's award included damages such as:
- $250,000 for pain and suffering related to the alleged sexual assault
- $ 1.25 million for emotional distress related to the alleged sexual assault
- $3 million for pain and suffering related to negligent supervision
- $3 million related to humiliation and indignity suffered
- $3 million related to the emotional distress caused by Aaron Rents' negligent control
of Moore
- $500,000 for the loss of a normal life caused by the negligent control issue
- $2 million for sexual harassment damages against Aaron's Rents and the related pain and suffering
- $2 million for loss of a normal life related to the sexual harassment
- $30 million in punitive damages against Aaron's Rents for negligent supervision of Moore
- $50 million in punitive damages related to the sexual harassment
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Reagan presided over the case. Judy Cates, Benedict Morelli, Martha McBrayer, and David Ratner represent the plaintiffs.
Now then, SCOTUS, this is a clear of example of citizens truly united think about discrimination whilst 5 of you jack off over corporate "rights." If you haven't the character to act on behalf of people, this will be commonplace until you do.
Congratulations to the plaintiff. Congratulations to women everywhere. And shame, shame, shame on the defendants and SCOTUS Inc.
