The married manager of a limousine company fired an employee for refusing to have sex with him, and even said as much in a text he sent her. Raymond Towns­end, a manager at US Limousine on Long Island, New York, was found liable for sexual harassment against his dispatcher Geralyn Ganci, now 32, after more than a year of lurid messages. The woman, who sat near his wife in their office, repeatedly refused Townsend's requests for sex, but kept a text from her boss where he said that she lost her job because she 'refused to have sex with the General Manager'. Limousine company manager Raymond Townsend (right) was ordered to pay compensation to his employee Geralyn Ganci, (left) 32, after telling her she was fired because she would not have sex with him . He also sent her texts saying that he 'had to pull over to the side of the road and masturbate thinking about me',  Ganci said in court papers. Other messages allegedly asked her to come over to his house because his wife was visiting her mother for he evening or contained pictures of his 'lap'. Ganci said that she had attended the wedding of Townsend and his wife. The original sexual harassment complaint against Townsend, filed in 2010, said that the manager would call Ganci 'at all hours of the day and night, during the work day and after the work day to convey disgusting, sexually suggestive, erotic and vile messages of a sexual nature'. Messages, which were aimed at making the woman have sex with him, continued for more than a year. She was fired after the boss allegedly forced Ganci into a bathroom and put his hand up her shirt in 2009 on a day when his wife was not at work. Townsend sent texts to Ganci including one where he claimed that he'had to pull over to the side of the road and masturbate thinking about me', the employee said. A judge has settled the final amount owed by US Limousine and Townsend at more than $700,000. Above, the company's various white vehicles . Ganci's complaint said that Townsend then offered to fire someone in the limousine company's 'wedding department' to bring her back in a different position. Townsend and US Limousine are now liable for more than $700,000 in damages and fees after losing a civil rights suit where the message was used as evidence, according to the New York Post. Though a federal jury found Townsend and his company liable in 2010, a federal judge in New York just finished finalizing the legal fees awarded to Ganci at just more than $170,000. She will also be awarded $550,000 in damages and compensation from US Limousine and her former boss. She had originally asked for $5million. Ganci said Townsend's behavior caused her emotional distress that landed her in the hospital, but that he called her while she was in the facility and asked about her breasts. Last year a jury found Townsend liable for creating a sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, but not intentionally inflicting emotional distress. Townsend does not work at US Limousine any longer and did not return a request for comment to the New York Post.
