Should we have fired this employee because of her boyfriend’s harassing behavior?

Q: “Recently, an abusive boyfriend sent nude photos of our employee to other employees. As soon as we knew this occurred, we blocked the email address and deleted everything related from our server. Now we have complaints that we should have fired the employee. We did not. In fact, we permitted FMLA leave due to the depression and trauma she suffered. How would you advise we handle these complaints?” – Pat, Maryland
