A Denver jury has awarded $3.175 million to two women who claimed they and others were sexually harassed while working at a Denver car dealership owned by Utah Jazz owner Larry H. Miller.
Roberta Pulse and Tonya House sued the Larry H. Miller Group in 2003, claiming that a general manager at the dealership, then known as Denver Toyota, harassed them and then retaliated after they complained.
Pulse was a controller at Denver Toyota; House was a finance director. Both women were fired.
They claimed the manager repeatedly tried to touch them and made lewd and inappropriate sexual comments.
The jury delivered the verdict Jan. 30 in U.S. District Court in Denver.
Representatives of the Larry H. Miller Group – which owns the Jazz, dealerships in six Western states including Colorado and other holdings – could not be reached for comment Friday.
