At lunch that day in the company cafeteria, CEO discharges Cused from her employment, accuses her of stealing from the company, searches through her purse over her objections, and finally forcibly escorts her to his office to await the arrival of the police, which he has his secretary summon. Cused is indicted for embezzlement but subsequently is acquitted upon establishing her innocence. What rights, if any, does Cused have against CEO? Explain.

Cused have a number of rights such as: trepass to personal properly, intrusion, false imprisonment, and emotional distress against CEO.

Firstly, he have intrude her personal properly by checking her purse. Secondly, he have removed her using force which involves offensive touching.

Cused came into false light because of whatever happened. And the most important,  CEO have caused her emotional distress. Apart from this, encroachment is another right Cused have against CEO.
