B. Sarah Harden works for the Guiding Light, a religious bookstore in Duluth, Minnesota. Seven years ago, as an unmarried juvenile, Sarah had an abortion in Illinois. A coworker, Allison, discovers this fact from a chance meeting with one of Sarah’s former high school classmates who heard about it from school gossip. Allison intentionally reveals it to all coworkers in the store who find the fact that Sarah had extramarital sex and an abortion to be deeply offensive. Thereafter, Sarah is ostracized at work and loses a promotion to store manager. Two weeks later, Sarah saw Helen take money from the cash register. When she reported it, the store owner, Solomon (Helen’s grandfather), immediately terminated her claiming that Sarah, not Helen, was the thief. Thereafter, Sarah interviews for other positions but each time the prospective employer refuses to hire her when Sarah truthfully states the reasons Solomon gave for her termination. Does Sarah have a tort cause of action against Allison? Does Sarah have a tort cause of action against the Guiding Light? In your answer be sure to explain whether Sarah can provide the evidence necessary to state a prima facie case for each tort cause of action you identify.
