Introduction
MICHAEL A. WOLFF, Judge.
Tracy Gilliland sued the Missouri Athletic Club under the Missouri Human Rights Act alleging he was sexually harassed by another male, a manager for the club. The jury returned a verdict for $60,000 in actual damages for “constructive discharge” and a verdict declaring the athletic club liable for punitive damages. The trial court entered judgment for Gilliland on the verdict, granted the athletic club judgment notwithstanding the verdict on punitive damages, awarded Gilliland $22,000 in attorneys’ fees, and denied equitable relief.
