In Kontos v. Laurel House, Inc., the Connecticut Superior Court held that false accusations of sexual harassment made by an employer as grounds for terminating an employee are sufficient to state a claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress.  The rule that a claim of negligent infliction of emotional distress can be based only on conduct occuring during the process of terminating an employee and not on conduct during the course of employment does not apply to claims for sexual harassment.
