Melissa Nelson recorded 'resistance; Iowa court ruled in favor of his boss at the end.

December 23, 2012 (Iowa City, Iowa) - dentist acted lawfully when he shot his assistant, who found attractive just because he and his wife saw the woman as a threat to their marriage, all-male Iowa Supreme Court on Friday.

The court ruled 7-0 that the bosses, the workers, they find "irresistible force", even if the employees do not participate in flirtatious behavior, or otherwise done something wrong to the fire. Such dismissals may be unfair, but they do not constitute unlawful discrimination under the Iowa Civil Rights Act, because they are motivated by feelings and emotions, and gender, the right to Edward Mansfield wrote.

Attorney Fort Dodge dentist James Knight said the decision first of its kind in Iowa, is a victory for family values, as Melissa Nelson Knight fired the interest of saving his marriage, not because she was a woman.

But Nelson's lawyer said Iowa all-male High Court, one of only a handful in the nation, and the discrimination that women routinely monitor the workplace to identify.

"These judges Iowa sent a message to women that they do not believe that men can be held liable for sexual desires, and Iowa, women are the ones who need to check their bosses' sexual desires to control," said the lawyer Paige Fiedler. "When they get out of hand, so women can be legally 're fired. "

Knight was a very religious and moral, and he believe Nelson will capture the best for all parties, he said.
Nelson, 32, worked for Knight for 10 years, and he looked at his stellar employee. But in the last months of his employment, he complained that her tight dress can be concluded, when I told him that if his pants had swollen a sign that his clothes were too revealing, says the report.

He also reportedly once remarked of his rare sex life, saying, "it's like a Lamborghini in the garage and never drive away."

Knight and Nelson - both married with children - began to exchange text messages, especially on personal matters, such as their families. Knight's wife, who also worked in a dentist's office, found the messages and called Nelson fired. The knights, in consultation with their pastors, who decided that the ends of Nelson was appropriate.

Knight fired Nelson and gave him one month severance. He later told Nelson's husband that she was afraid he was too personally received confirmation, and was afraid he would eventually try to start a relationship with him.

Nelson was speechless beaten, because they saw the 53-year-old Knight father figure and was never interested in starting a relationship, Fiedler said.

Nelson brought sex discrimination, since it would have ended, if he was a man. He had no sexual harassment claim because the behavior of the Knight has not risen to that level and not particularly offensive to his Fiedler said.
