Kink and Wife v. Combs

On April 21, 1963, the plaintiff, Mrs. Marcella Kink, was working as the manager of the Rendezvous Restaurant, at Middleton in Dane county, when the defendant, Maurice Combs, came upon the premises in the company of another. They immediately went to the bar, and there, Combs, who had been drinking since early morning, commenced his overtures to the plaintiff. He told her that she had a beautiful body, that he intended to sleep with her, and that as part owner of the Rendezvous (which he was not) that she would lose her job if she refused his advances. He also offered her a job at the Simon House in Madison (of which he was the owner) if she would sleep with him two or three times a week. Mrs. Kink stated that to avoid Combs she went behind the partition that divided the bar from the salad area.
