NEW YORK (AP) — A jury has awarded $2.78 million to an au pair whose employer used a hidden camera to videotape her while she slept in their New York City home. The jury in Brooklyn federal court ordered Michael and Danielle Esposito to pay Kelly Andrade $780,000 for emotional distress and $2 million in punitive damages for the camera that Michael Esposito had placed over Andrade’s bed. Andrade had moved in to the Espositos’ Staten Island home to care for their four children in 2021. A lawyer for the Espositos says the pair are exploring their options and may appeal the verdict.
