Victoria Woodall told an employment tribunal she was subjected to a campaign of retaliation by the company after whistleblowing on the man, who was later sacked.

Google UK’s internal investigation found the manager had touched two female colleagues without their consent and that his behavior amounted to sexual harassment, documents seen by the BBC in court show.

The tech giant denies retaliating against Woodall and argues she became “paranoid” after whistleblowing and began to view normal business activities as “sinister.”

In her claim, Woodall said her own boss subjected her to a “relentless campaign of retaliation” after her complaint also implicated his close friends, who were later disciplined for witnessing the manager’s behavior and failing to challenge it.
