This undated photo provided by Melissa Nelson shows Melissa with her husband, Steve, and their children in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday, July 12, 2013 stood by its ruling that a dentist acted legally when he fired an assistant because he found her too attractive and worried he would try to start an affair. Coming to the same conclusion as it did in December, the all-male court found that bosses can fire employees they see as threats to their marriages, even if the subordinates have not engaged in flirtatious or other inappropriate behavior. The court said such firings do not count as illegal sex discrimination because they are motivated by feelings, not gender.

    Iowa top court: Firing of attractive aide is legal

    A dentist acted legally when he fired a longtime assistant because he had grown too attracted to her and worried he would try to start an affair, the Iowa Supreme Court reaffirmed Friday in its second crack at the controversial case. Photo Gallery Available
