Farrell v. Davis

In this case, Jacqueline Morgan claims that she left her job with the Georgia Department of Corrections because three of her supervisors subjected her to sexual harassment in the workplace. She seeks an injunctive order, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (1988), requiring the Department of Corrections to reinstate her to her position, with back pay and fringe benefits. Morgan also claims that when she exercised her First Amendment right of free speech and complained about the sexual harassment, these supervisors retaliated against her. Accordingly, she seeks compensatory and punitive damages against them, under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988).
