The married owner of a company touched and kissed a female


The married owner of a company touched and kissed a female salesperson at work, made comments about oral sex, and suggested that they be alone together. A few months later the woman began making hotel arrangements and meeting the owner in hotel rooms. The two had sex ap- proximately ten times during their relationship. The woman testified that she believed that she had to have sex with the owner to keep her job. She admitted that the owner never explicitly threatened her with loss of her job if she did not go to hotels with him. After about a year, the woman decided that she couldn't take it anymore and told him that she would not continue with the affair. At that point, the owner told her that she would be fired if she stopped seeing him. The owner then informed his wife (the co-owner of the business) about the affair, and the salesperson was fired. She sued. What should the court de- cide? Why? (Miles v. DDF, Inc. 2004 Minn. App. LEXIS 524, review denied, 2004 Minn. LEXIS 409)
