WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court declined Monday to use a sexual harassment claim from a 16-year-old ice cream scooper to decide whether an underage employee must show that her co-worker's attention was unwelcome.
The case stemmed from a sexual encounter between a teenager and a 25-year-old co-worker that Illinois law defines as statutory rape.
The teenager, identified only as Jane Doe in court papers, and her shift supervisor, Matthew Nayman, worked at an Oberweis Dairy store in Illinois. The company has 43 ice cream stores in four Midwestern states.
