Jury Awards $500,000 To Woman Spanked At Work
Jury Awards $500,000 To Woman Spanked At Work

POSTED: 3:45 pm EDT April 28, 2006

FRESNO, Calif. -- A jury awarded $500,000 Friday to a woman who was spanked in front of her colleagues in what her employer called a camaraderie-building exercise.

The jury of six men and six women found that Janet Orlando was subjected to sexual harassment and sexual battery when she was paddled two years ago at Alarm One Inc., a home security company in Fresno.

The jury, however, said that Orlando did not suffer from sexual assault as she had alleged.

Orlando, 53, had asked for at least $1.2 million in lost wages, medical costs and damages.

Orlando quit in 2004, less than a year after she was hired, saying she was humiliated during the company's camaraderie-building exercises.

for her pain, I would have stuck it to whatever company she was working for, that kind of behavior, is ridiculous...
