    2) punitive damages.

    Explanation:

    When victims of sexual harassment sue and win, they are generally entitled to any of 3 types of legal remedies applicable to torts:

    Compensatory damages: to compensate loss of employment and wages, medical expenses, and other economic misfortune. Emotional damages: to compensate for emotional distress and damage. Punitive damages: compensate the harasser's egregious, malicious and outrageous misconduct (any conduct that shocks the victim's conscience).

    In this case the only applicable option was N° 2, but the remedy that better applies are compensatory damages.
