Isiah Thomas Found Guilty in Harassment Case
A jury ruled Tuesday that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a top team executive, subjecting Anucha Browne Sanders, a married mother of three, to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults.
The jury also ruled that Thomas does not have to pay punitive damages to the women, giving him a partial victory after an ugly, three-week trial.
The jury did find that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against the woman, and ruled that MSG should have to pay her punitive damages.
U.S. District Judge Gerard E. Lynch called it an "imminently reasonable" verdict and said the jury will be asked to return later in the day to hear brief arguments on possible punitive damages against MSG.
The harassment verdict was widely expected after the jury sent a note to the judge Monday indicating that it believed Thomas and the other defendants, Madison Square Garden and MSG Chairman James Dolan, sexually harassed plaintiff Sanders. However, the question of whether Thomas would have to pay punitive damages was up in the air until Tuesday.
