After the date, Astrid proceeded to make suggestive comments to Seth in front of other employees and to request that he rub her shoulders. When she passed Seth's station, she would caress him while he worked. Astrid also decided that Roscoe, another of her employees, was cute. She showered him with the same type of attention. Roscoe enjoyed the attention. Seth filed a claim against Astrid for sexual harassment. Seth asked Roscoe to join in the claim. Roscoe said that Astrid's attention never personally bothered him, but that if Seth could collect, then he wanted in on the action. Seth told Roscoe that he was going to see a psychologist to substantiate his claim, that such substantiation is necessary, and that Roscoe should consider doing likewise.

He said that while he found Astrid entertaining, he should be able to recover if Seth recovered.
