The complainant, a young woman placed at the respondent's greenhouse through a youth employment program, alleged sexual harassment and reprisal by her employer.
The Board of Inquiry found that the employer engaged in a course of vexatious comment and conduct, including persistent sexual propositions and unwanted touching, which he knew or ought to have known was unwelcome.
The Board also found that the employer's decision to send the complainant home early on her last day constituted a reprisal for her rejection of his sexual advances.
The respondents were ordered to pay $240 in lost wages and $2,750 in general damages for mental anguish.
