INJURIES: Cameron is a mother of four and married for 14 years. As a result of her experience at PB, she claimed she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorder with anxiety and depression, and acute stress. Her interactions at PB also affected her marriage and her family life. She sought recovery for her emotional distress.
Facts:
From 2002 through 2008, plaintiff Jennifer Cameron worked at PB Entertainment Group Inc. as a cable television operator. She claimed that her co-worker Craig Damian subjected her to a hostile work environment. Cameron and Damian’s joint supervisor was Candice Jeremy. Cameron further claimed that Becky Vasquez, the senior director of human resources at PB, knew about the conduct.

In 2004, Vasquez conducted an investigation into Cameron’s complaints against Damian and determined that inappropriate conduct had occurred, but no sexual harassment. Cameron asserted that Damian continued to sexually harass her after Vasquez’s investigation, and that Cameron then complained to several supervisors regarding Damian’s conduct.
In March 2008, Cameron was laid off when her unit of PB was bought out.
Cameron contended she was subject to a hostile work environment while at her previous position and sued PB, Damian and Jeremy for violations of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act for sexual harassment, failure to prevent harassment and disability harassment.
