Outcome

The Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole's denial of workers' compensation benefits was affirmed. The court found that while the claimant suffered a work-related psychological injury from sexual harassment and retaliation, the employer was entitled to invoke the 'personal animus' exception under the Workers' Compensation Act, making the injury non-compensable.
