The famous golfer Tiger Woods has returned to dealing with the law. This time he was accused of sexually harassing his ex-girlfriend Erica Herman.
According to the court filing document submitted by the victim's lawyer, Woods is said to have forced Erica to sign a confidentiality agreement (non-disclosure agreement/NDA) or be fired from her job.
"A superior who imposes different working conditions on his employees because their sexual intercourse is sexual harassment," said Erica's lawyer, Benjamin Hobas, in the filing.
The document alleges Woods had sexual relations with Erica when Erica worked for him as an employee at Wood's South Florida restaurant, The Woods Jupiter.
Woods then forced Erica to sign a confidentiality agreement or she would be fired from her job.
"Tiger Woods, a well-known international athlete and one of the most influential figures in global sport, decided to have sex with his employees, then forced his employees to sign NDA or be fired from his job," a court document said on Friday.
"And, when he became dissatisfied with their sexual relationship, he tricked him into leaving his house, locking him down, taking his cash, pets, and personal belongings, and tried to force him to sign a different NDA," the document continued.
