Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
WOLLMAN, Circuit Judge.
A jury awarded Marlene Rowe $500,000 in emotional distress damages and $1,000,000 in punitive damages after finding that Rowe had endured a sexually hostile work environment that her employer, Hussmann Corporation (Hussmann), knew of and failed to rectify promptly. The district court 1 denied Hussmann’s motions for judgment as a matter of law and new trial and also refused to remit the jury’s damage awards. Hussmann appeals, arguing that Rowe’s claims were time-barred and, alternatively, that the damage awards were unsupported and are excessive. We affirm.
