A senior female executive at an investment firm has won a sexual harassment claim after her 'infatuated' male married boss called her a 'naughty girl' and suggested buying a 'love nest' for them in Cyprus.
As the pair grew increasingly close, Mr Bandemer began referring to her and her three children as his his 'adopted family' - something that was strictly rejected after he kissed Ms Crabtree on the cheek in front of her daughter who 'flipped out'. Marc Bandemer, 59, made repeated advances towards Louise throughout the course of 2021 and 2022 and sent her adoring messages, referring to her as his 'second wife'
The tribunal found Ms Bandemer was in a 'subordinate' position but 'required' an income as a single mother and didn't want to 'damage her employment prospects'. Later that month, at her birthday party, Mr Bandemer pulled Ms Crabtree onto his lap - something which 'everyone found uncomfortable', the tribunal heard.
Giving evidence, Ms Crabtree said that up until the first warning their exchanges had been 'quite friendly', but that she told him she couldn't continue as before because boundaries were getting 'over-stepped'. The tribunal found her response, where she said it affected her 'deeply' for him to change from 'friend to foe in seconds', was an attempt to 'tread a cautious line between not wanting to offend the him but not wanting to encourage him either'.
He then offered to buy her children Christmas presents and gift them money, a gesture in which the panel heard his behaviour was 'intensifying' and she was 'helpless to do anything'. After referring to Ms Crabtree and her children as his 'adopted family', he bought her a Valentines Day card in which he wrote 'thank you for being in my life. And for what you have become to me. I love you'.
