article: A former Weber County court clerk has won a sexual harassment lawsuit against a former judge who wrote a love poem to her. A federal jury in Salt Lake City on Thursday awarded more than $270,000 to Marcia Eisenhour after finding that former Justice Court Judge Craig Storey violated her right to equal protection. The jury found Storey liable for some $240,000 of the damages and the county liable for the rest. Storey wrote in 2007, 'I'd love to harvest your sweet grapes,' and called Eisenhour the 'most gorgeous thing alive.' Storey was a judge for Weber County Justice Court from 1984 until 2010, when a new Ogden Justice Court (pictured) opened and took over the county's caseload . Utah's Standard Examiner reported that the 'semi-erotic love poem' was 11 pages long. Storey testified that he never intended for her to find or read the poem. Crucial to the case was a meeting Ms Eisenhour had with the Court Judge in July 2008 after she had seen the love note. Storey was said to have asked whether she was in a relationship and where she was going on holiday. For Ms Eisenhour this proved the 'last straw' as far as his possessiveness of her was concerned. Storey claimed his worries related to Ms Eisenhour's weight-loss, recent job performance and absences. He said he was going to have to change her work hours because of complaints from other court staff. Eisenhour said her absences were her attempts to avoid the judge. Storey was a judge for Weber County Justice Court from 1984 until 2010, when a new Ogden Justice Court opened and took over the county's caseload. Eisenhour was a court employee for over 25 years. Eisenhour's attorney April Hollingsworth said she suspected the case was not over, that Storey's and the county's lawyers have indicated they would be filing motions for a new trial.
