United States Seventh Circuit

Denial of defendant's motion for judgment as a matter of law in a Title VII case alleging a hostile work environment after a sexual assault by an inmate on a corrections employee is affirmed where defendant did nothing in response to plaintiff's concerns about the presence of the inmate in her office after hours, and a reasonable jury could find that lack of response to be unreasonable.
