Argued March 25, 2010

Before GLICKMAN, Associate Judge, RUIZ, Associate Judge, Retired,*fn1 and REID, Senior Judge.*fn2

Retired: This appeal stems from an employment discrimination suit initiated by Sasha Stamenkovic, who was employed at Campbell-Crane & Associates, Inc. (“Campbell-Crane”), and claimed to have been sexually harassed for three years by Campbell-Crane’s owner, Jeanne M. Campbell. Campbell and Campbell-Crane appeal the jury’s verdict in favor of Stamenkovic on the sexual harassment claim as well as the award of $812,000 in compensatory damages and $455.739.50 in attorneys’ fees and costs. Appellants argue that the trial court made instructional and evidentiary errors during trial, and that, post-trial, the court erred in denying their motion for judgment as a matter of law or for new trial challenging the jury’s verdict on compensatory damages, and abused discretion in awarding attorneys’ fees. Although we agree with appellants on one of these claims, that the instruction of what constitutes a “hostile” work environment was incomplete, we conclude the error was harmless. Therefore, we affirm the judgment.
