Tiger Woods' former girlfriend accuses him of sexual harassment

The ex-girlfriend of Tiger Woods has accused him of sexual harassment, saying he pursued a sexual relationship with her when she was his employee and then forced her to sign a non-disclosure agreement about it – or be fired from her job if she did not, according to a document filed by her attorney Friday in a Florida state court. Erica Herman worked at Woods' restaurant, The Woods, in Jupiter, Florida, when they began their relationship. "Mr. Woods was Ms. Herman’s boss," said Herman's attorney. "A boss imposing different work conditions on his employee because of their sexual relationship is sexual harassment."
