- <p> VICTORIOUS. SABINO GUTIERREZ, 33; in a sexual-harassment suit;
- in Los Angeles. Gutierrez's lawyer, Gloria Allred, a veteran
- litigator of sexual-harassment cases filed by women, claims
- her client's case is the first involving a male employee successfully
- alleging sexual harassment by a female superior. A jury awarded
- Gutierrez $1 million to compensate him for what he said was
- six years of almost daily sexual harassment from Maria Martinez,
- the chief financial officer and director of personnel at Cal-Spas,
- a hot-tub manufacturer where Gutierrez was a manager. Martinez
- fondled, kissed and, on at least one occasion, slept with the
- plaintiff. According to Gutierrez, his 1991 marriage aggravated
- his ordeal--his desk was removed from his office, and when
- he spurned a renewed round of come-ons, his responsibilities
- were handed to another worker. Finally, in 1992, Gutierrez left
- his $45,000-a-year job. Cal-Spas says it will appeal.
