Google Employee Claims Retaliation After Reporting Sexual Harassment

A senior Google employee, Victoria Woodall, has claimed she was made redundant after reporting a manager for sexual harassment, according to an employment tribunal. Woodall alleges she faced a campaign of retaliation by the company after reporting the manager, who was later dismissed.

The case centers around Woodall's whistleblowing on a manager who reportedly shared details of his "swinger lifestyle" with clients and showed them a nude photograph of his wife. Documents seen by the BBC in court revealed that Google UK's internal investigation found the manager had touched two female colleagues without their consent, and his behaviour amounted to sexual harassment.

Woodall has taken Google to an employment tribunal. Google denies retaliating against Woodall.
