Boss 'humiliated' woman sales exec over bladder problem and claimed she must have been having intercourse, tribunal told

A sales director accused of offering two female colleagues pay rises in return for a threesome branded one of them "pissy pants" and said she must have been up all night having sex after she told him she had a bladder problem, a tribunal heard.

Darren Scott allegedly humiliated Diana Nicholl-Pierson, 24, and sexually harassed her and fellow sales executive Anna Mazover, 29, before they were both dismissed "without notice".

Ms Nicholl-Pierson said the pair - who are seeking £100,000 compensation - were "subjected to constant sexual comments, sexual advances and sexual innuendos" on a daily basis after joining Central London publishing firm Entico Corporation Ltd last year.

On one occasion, Ms Nicholl-Pierson said she apologised to Mr Scott, 55, about being late for work after seeing her doctor about a bladder problem.

She told the employment tribunal that what followed was "the most humiliating experience of my life".

In her statement, she said Mr Scott said to her: "If you think I believe this for one minute, I don't. I know you were up all night f******."

Ms Nicholl-Pierson said he called her "pissy pants" over and over, and in an open office said: "You know what is wrong with you? Too much of this."

At the same time she claimed he repeatedly punched his fist against the palm of his hand, which she says was a reference to having sex.

Ms Nicholl-Pierson also alleged Mr Scott would go over to her desk and hand her pieces of tissue.

But Mr Scott's lawyer, Adam Gadd, said of the claim: "That didn't happen."

The two sales executives alleged Mr Scott talked to them about having sex with prostitutes, visiting lap dancing clubs, taking cocaine and said he would make comments about their appearance.

The Central London tribunal has heard he allegedly told them they would "prosper within the company" if they had a threesome with him.

Mr Gadd described the claims as "absurd" and a "fabrication", and specifically described the threesome claim as "fantasy".

Ms Nicholl-Pierson claims she was sexually assaulted by Mr Scott twice on the same day.

The first alleged assault occurred on the stairs after a fire drill, when she said Mr Scott "started touching the top of my thighs and also my bottom from the outside of my skirt".

The second alleged assault was when Ms Nicholl-Pierson said Mr Scott groped her and "squeezed my bottom".

Ms Nicholl-Pierson said she would notice Mr Scott's eyes "leering at me", and added: "He would address my chest instead of my face."

She recalled her first day at the company when she claims Mr Scott was insinuating that her nipples were erect.

Attempting to re-enact the tone of voice she claims he used with her, she said he remarked to her: "God, it must be cold outside, you must be freezing." Ms Nicholl-Pierson told the hearing: "He hated older women and he loved young women."

Ms Nicholl-Pierson said on one occasion Mr Scott was discussing synchronised swimming with Ms Mazover, and allegedly said: "If Diana swam, she would never drown and she would just float because of the size of her boobs."

Mr Scott denies all the allegations.

Ms Nicholl-Pierson is claiming £67,000 compensation, while Ms Mazover is seeking £41,000. The hearing continues.
