An Aurora woman is suing the movie theater where she once worked for sexual harassment after her boss blocked the door of his office and would not let her out until she showed him her breasts.
Kathryn Rawlings alleges that on February 17, 2009 while she was employed at the IMAX movie theater in Batavia, Illinois, she was confronted in the manager's office by the assistant manager, Jerry Smith, who "advised Rawlings she could not leave the office unless and until she showed him her breasts. When Rawlings refused, Smith closed the door and again demanded to see Rawlings' breasts and advised her he would only open the door to let her leave if she did so. Upon showing him her breasts, Smith then allowed Rawlings to leave the office."
