United States Eighth Circuit

In an action against plaintiff's employers alleging hostile work environment and constructive discharge in violation of Title VII and gender discrimination in violation of state law, judgment for plaintiff is affirmed where: 1) the jury reasonably found from the evidence produced that plaintiff was subjected to a sexually hostile work environment that affected a term, condition, or privilege of her employment and for which defendant failed to take prompt and effective remedial action; and 2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that the jury's damage award was not excessive or against the weight of the evidence.
