A UK airport security guard could win up to
£30,000 ($64,000) in compensation after a woman colleague sexually harassed him
by pestering him for sex.
The Daily Mirror reports that Allwyn
Rondeau, 46, made it clear to Lucy Chilton that he was homosexual and
not interested after she told his supervisor that she fancied him.
But Chilton, 42, persistently tried to seduce him with inappropriate behaviour and mocked his sexuality.
Rondeau was forced to complain after they argued and Chilton reported
him for allegedly grabbing her from behind. He said: "It shocked and
appalled me."

He made a counter-claim but was suspended in January 2007 until her claims were rejected by their firm G4S.
Chilton denied harassing him but the Reading
tribunal found she had "acted in a similar way towards other men".
An
employment lawyer from Equal Justice said he could be awarded up to
£30,000: "This demonstrates women and men must not treat colleagues negatively over sexuality," he said.
