A federal jury has awarded a former human resources director $10.15 million in a retaliation and defamation case. The verdict was reached after the jury found that the defendant retaliated against the former director and defamed her in a statement to its community. The case began nearly two years ago and involved allegations against a former piano teacher.

The jury found that the defendant retaliated against the former director after she complained about alleged discrimination, but rejected her claim of discrimination based on her gender. Further details about the case and verdict are available from the source.
