The decision of the court was in favor of the Pennsylvania State Police it was a vote 8-1. The reason being the judges had to answer the question if an employer makes the workplace unbearable though sexual harassment and the employee quits without filing a complaint, can the employee take the employer to suit? The answer was yes, the employee can bring suit to the former employer but the employer has the right to use the fact that the employee did not use the internal procedures to report the harassment to safe guard their self in court.
