Nye denies in part an employer's motion for summary judgment regarding an employee's claims that he was fired after reporting his supervisor for sexually harassing a coworker. The employer alleges that it fired the employee after he threatened to physically harm and kill the supervisor. The employee was placed on administrative leave after reporting the coworker's sexual harassment to HR and the employee alleging sexual harassment was fired. The employee alleges that these actions chilled other employees from coming forward and that the supervisor told coworkers to falsely report that he had made threats against the supervisor. The employee has established a causal link between his protected activity and his termination and the employer has not provided a non-retaliatory reason for placing the employee on leave.
