Hillary Andrews Wins Sexual Harassment Suit Against Former Co-Anchor Bob Stokes

Hillary Andrews, a former Weather Channel anchorwoman, won a sexual harassment case Tuesday against her former co-anchor Bob Stokes.

Stokes reportedly asked Andrews about her sex life constantly and made crude statements such as "Will you lick my swizzle stick?"

Andrews took legal action against The Weather Channel, claiming it retaliated against her after she complained and then refused to take action against Stokes.

An arbitrator ruled on Jan. 31 that Stokes, 50, had subjected Andrews, 38, to "severe and pervasive" sexual harassment that was "extreme and offensive".

Andrews, who left the cable channel in August 2006 and now temps as a CNN weather forecaster, received an undisclosed monetary award.

Court papers said Stokes was fired in February.
