Quantock v. Shared Marketing Services, Inc

In Quantock v. Shared Marketing Services, Inc. (7th Cir. 2002) 312 F.3d 899, the president of the company propositioned a company account supervisor three times for sex during a business meeting between the two. (Id. at p. 902.) The appellate court determined that given the president's repeated requests for sex made directly to the supervisor, and in light of his significant position of authority at the company and the close working quarters within which they worked, a reasonable jury could find the sexual propositions objectively sufficiently severe to alter the terms of the supervisor's employment. (Id. at p. 904.)
