flag A Northern Ireland teen settled a £65,000 case against JD Sports after a supervisor sexually harassed her, leading to policy changes and an apology.

flag Jayla Boyd, a Northern Ireland teenager, has settled a £65,000 sexual harassment case against JD Sports after being slapped on the bottom by a supervisor during a part-time shift in July 2024. flag She reported the incident the same day, with CCTV footage confirming it, but was not formally interviewed, received no support, and continued working with the supervisor, who cited “muscle memory” for the act. flag She later resigned after feeling further traumatized by a training session mirroring her experience and being left uninformed about the investigation. flag JD Sports apologized, confirmed the supervisor is no longer employed, and agreed to review policies with the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, which stressed the need for zero-tolerance harassment policies, clear procedures, and staff training.
