New York Knicks Coach Guilty of Sexual Harassment
A jury has found that New York Knicks Head Coach Isaiah Thomas sexually harassed a female employee of the New York Knicks, “subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults.” Although the jury ruled that Thomas will not have to pay the woman any punitive damages, the fact that the Knicks now have a head coach who has been found to be a sexual harasser by a jury is bound to cause problems in New York.
However, the jury also found that Madison Square Garden, the company that employs Thomas [and once employed Thomas’ female victim, Anucha Browne Sanders] also harassed Browne Sanders and will have to pay her punitive damages – the amount has yet to be determined.
While Thomas, who is married a father of two, denied the sex harassment charges, he did admit trying to kiss Browne Sanders in December 2005, asking her “No love today?” when she recoiled.
