  Alice Rowe has brought an action for sexual harassment and wrongful discharge against her employer, Pacific Quad, Inc. She asserts that her supervisor, operations manager Stanley Schmit, continually leered at her, made offensive sexually suggestive comments to her, brushed by her in order to sexually touch her, and, finally, propositioned her during the two weeks she worked for Pacific Quad. She further alleges that the president of Pacific Quad, John Walsh, was informed of the harassment and ratified it.

  Pacific Quad denies that the harassment occurred. Walsh and Schmit claim that Rowe was a highly nervous, marginally productive administrative assistant who was likely to be dismissed the week after she walked off the job. They claim to be mystified as to why she quit but speculate that she was paranoid or was extremely oversensitive and misunderstood the friendly atmosphere of their small, family-like office.

  Rowe claims lost wages, medical expenses (psychotherapy), general damages for emotional distress, and punitive damages.

  This case can be tried on the issue of liability only or liability and damages. There are three witnesses for the plaintiff and three for the defendant.
