User:Binx12345/Sexual harassment in the workplace in the United States

Judge Richey’s decision received a lot of media attention, including stories in multiple national newspapers. A lot of this attention was critical of the decision, and focused on a footnote Judge Richey included in the Memorandum Opinion. This footnote stated that sexual harassment from a supervisor who is bisexual cannot be considered sex discrimination if both men and women employees are subject to the harassment.

Williams’ case was appealed multiple times, and it took around eight years for her to win. Judge Richey granted Williams $19,147 to make up for lost pay.
