SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A former Weber County court clerk has won a sexual harassment lawsuit against a former judge who wrote a love poem to her.
A federal jury in Salt Lake City on Thursday awarded more than $270,000 to Marcia Eisenhour after finding that former Justice Court Judge Craig Storey violated her right to equal protection.
The jury found Storey liable for some $240,000 of the damages and the county liable for the rest.
Storey wrote in 2007, "I'd love to harvest your sweet grapes," and called Eisenhour the "most gorgeous thing alive."
Storey was a judge for Weber County Justice Court from 1984 until 2010, when a new Ogden Justice Court opened and took over the county's caseload.
Eisenhour was a court employee for over 25 years.
