£35,000 for victim of a sex pest boss
A SENIOR saleswoman was awarded £35,000 for sexual harassment after a senior colleague told her he would “like to eat her like a marshmallow”.
Accounts manager Nicola Furlong said she was humiliated by company vice-president Bart Fanelli’s behaviour during a sales conference in the US, a tribunal in Reading heard.
Mr Fanelli put his hand up her skirt, fondled her bottom and kissed her neck on the trip to Nashville, Tennessee.

Ms Furlong, a 39-year-old single mother, said she had endured a “laddish culture” at BMC Software’s offices in Egham, Surrey.
Judge Andrew Gumbiti-Zimuto said the incident had “violated Ms Furlong’s dignity”.
