As a consequence of this conduct, Gonzalez became frightened of Haddad, and she felt "angry, alone, helpless ... withdrawn ... [and] spent extended periods alone in her room, often crying." Gonzalez also experienced "various physical pains which may be reasonably attributable to the tensions and stress caused by her living conditions." In these circumstances, and with particular reference to Haddad's personal conduct towards Gonzalez involving sexual harassment and other threatening conduct, all of which was designed to discourage her from making efforts to obtain relief, the judge was justified in concluding that Gonzalez had made out a common law case of intentional infliction of emotional distress.
