A local man says the impact of the sexual harassment his daughter is alleging to have suffered by her employer two years ago continues today.

"It's been an evolving impact on Devon,” Michael Hanson said Tuesday during a human rights public hearing being held at the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre.

The hearing, before the Yukon Board of Adjudication, began Monday and is scheduled to conclude next Thursday.

Devon Hanson is accusing her former boss, Mark Hureau, of sexual harassment.

Both he and Intersport are named in the case, which was taken to the Yukon Human Rights Commission, which referred it to the board.

Over the course of the first 2 1/2 days, the board heard from Devon, who worked at Intersport in 2009 and 2010. Along with being her boss, Hureau was also her basketball coach in high school.

During her testimony and cross-examination, the board heard from a number of texts and e-mails Hureau sent to Devon.

She testified his communication with her went from being limited to basketball to being more personal, as did conversations at work.

One text, for example, stated he liked her "from top to bottom.”

As they grew more personal, Devon said, she was finally "beyond creeped” to the point of quitting her job in March 2010.

During testimony Wednesday, the board heard from her father and her boyfriend at the time, Charles Hine, who confirmed many of the details she testified to over e-mails and communications he viewed.

Along with testifying about details in the case, Michael Hanson told the board that initially, his daughter was confused by Hureau's actions.

As time went on though, and she left home to go to school on the east coast, she didn't want to return to Whitehorse except to see family members, he said.

While in the city, she's been harassed by others employed by Hureau, Hanson said, also pointing to the "huge social media piece still happening.”

"It makes me quite sick,” he said as he referred to comments seen on the Twitter and Facebook websites over the case.

Yesterday, the board accepted a number of Tweets posted to the Twitter site within the past 24 hours about the case as part of the evidence there to show the ongoing impact.

This came despite the objections of Hureau's lawyer, James Tucker.

Michael Hanson also told the board he and Devon's mother arranged for her to see a psychologist in Vancouver due to the contents of the e-mails and texts sent to her. Devon still stays in touch with the psychologist, her father said.

Under cross-examination by Tucker, he acknowledged the decision to see a psychologist did not come as a referral from a medical practitioner. Rather, he said, it was a decision of the family.

As he noted, in his experience working in the social work field, he knows what services are out there and thought she should see a psychologist.

Devon testified she had talked to a counsellor at her university about the situation as well.

Michael Hanson noted in his own testimony that his daughter has had trouble focusing on her school work this year, knowing the case was continuing back in Whitehorse.

"We had many phone calls about that,” he said.

After his testimony, the commission's lawyer, Coleen Harrington, said she had called all the witnesses for her case.

Tucker was scheduled to begin presenting his side of the case this morning.
