A former equity firm executive is ordered to pay £100,000 in damages to a female colleague following allegations of harassment, but he files for bankruptcy before making the payment, according to reports. The claimant, Louise Crabtree, says that her former boss, Marc Bandemer, subjected her to months of unwanted conduct in the workplace. She alleges he used sexual or demeaning remarks toward her, including calling her names such as “candy toes,” “naughty,” “brat,” and “girl.” The reports also describe accusations that he ogled her body and made personal advances, including reportedly confessing feelings for her. The cited news coverage states that the damages were part of a legal outcome in which the executive was forced to compensate her, yet he does so after bankruptcy proceedings are initiated. The outlets do not provide additional settlement details or comment from the accused in the information provided here. The reports focus on the alleged behavior and the combination of a damages order and the debtor’s insolvency prior to payment.
