In 1991, Christine Romalotti went to work at a prestigious law firm for hotshot lawyer Michael Baldwin. The charming Baldwin took her under his wing guiding and training her. At first, Chris was appreciative until he kissed her one day after a court victory. When he suggested a more "friendly" relationship in exchange for her moving up in the hierarchy, she began making inquiries at the firm about sexual harassment. The promotion disappeared and Chris filed a sexual harassment lawsuit. She also learned that he had done the same to several other women including her neighbor Hilary Lancaster.
