London employee sues her boss taking ‘xx’ in his mail for kiss

London: An employment tribunal in London has ordered an employee to pay 5,000 pounds for raising false allegations of sexual misconduct against her boss.

The employment tribunal at London Central Court dismissed Gasparova’s allegations that her boss’ official mail to her contained suggestive messages for sexual act, according to BBC.

Karina Gasparova, an IT worker and a project manager at the London office of essDOCS, sued her boss Alexander Goulandris for writing to her in the official mail ‘xx, yy, ???’

After receiving the mail she took the boss of essDOCS, a company that provides 'paperless trade solutions', to the court accusing ‘sexual harassment, discrimination, and unfair dismissal.’

Here is the text of the email presented to the employment tribunal as evidence in the case:

"Can you please complete the following:

The solution us currently used by xx Agris companies and yy Barge lines in corn cargoes in south-north flows in the ???? waterways.

Also, can you remind me of what the balance of the rollout will be and the approx. timing.

Thanks"

Gasparova alleged that the letters 'xx' stood for kisses, 'yy' for sexual contact, and '????' was a request for 'when she would be ready' for sex.

Gasparova told the judges that she believed her boss yelled at her when she ‘rejected his advances.'

After reviewing the evidence, the court found Karina Gasparova's perception of the events as ‘skewed’.

‘Our primary reasons for rejecting her account of events were that we considered her perception of everyday events was skewed,’ The Independent quoted Judge Emma Burns as saying.

Gasparova, the court said, interpreted wholly ‘innocent work-related conduct’ as if had some sinister intent.
