Mr. Thomas subsequently copied a page from a dictionary containing the name of a body part and gave it to the secretary, which in addition to prior behavior she interpreted as sexual harassment.

In a suit for wrongful termination, Mr. Thomas won compensatory damages plus punitive damages against the company and his secretary.
