The ruling is the third verdict this year against Alki David, who has been accused of numerous acts of inappropriate behavior by former employees.
A Los Angeles jury ordered British Greek hologram entrepreneur Alki David to pay $50 million in punitive damages on Monday after finding him liable for battery, sexual battery and sexual harassment against a former employee.
A California jury in April ordered David to pay another employee, Chasity Jones, $11.1 million. She said he fired her after she refused to have sex with him. Jones later agreed to a reduction in compensatory damages by $437,120. Punitive damages remained at $8 million. Last month, a judge ordered David to pay her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, attorney fees totaling $1.34 million.
David, who represented himself in the Taylor trial, remained belligerent, defiant and disruptive throughout his multiple trials in Los Angeles County Superior Court. He frequently erupted in profanity-laced outbursts while mocking his accusers and their attorneys, earning him nearly $10,000 in sanctions; he was ejected from the courtroom on several occasions.
