Dental
nurse hits out as court upholds decision to sack her for being an
'irresistible attraction'
A dentist who fired his
assistant because he found her to be an "irresistible
attraction" and a threat to his marriage was within his legal
rights to do so, a US court has ruled.
Melissa Nelson, 32, was
fired from her job as a dental nurse in Iowa after her employer,
James Knight, found her tight clothing and behaviour to be a
distraction.
No sexual relationship
ever occurred between the dentist and his employee of 10 years.
However, the all-male Iowa State Supreme Court ruled that Dr Knight,
53, was within his legal rights when he fired Mrs Nelson, affirming
the decision of a lower court.
