This is the young Swedish woman who sued her former Wall Street executive boss over lurid allegations of sexual conquest, betrayal and stalking - and was awarded $18 million by a federal jury Monday.

Hanna Bouveng, 25, accused Benjamin Wey in an $850 million lawsuit of using his power as owner of New York Global Group to coerce her into four sexual encounters before firing her after discovering she had a boyfriend.

The jury in federal court in Manhattan awarded her $2 million in compensatory damages plus $16 million in punitive damages on sexual harassment, retaliation and defamation claims.

It rejected a claim of assault and battery.

Bouving, 25, sued the married CEO of New York Global Group Benjamin Wey, 43, for $850million, claiming he forced her to have sex with him in December 2013

Bouveng, who was raised in Vetlanda, Sweden, testified that soon after Wey hired her at New York Global Group, the CEO began a relentless quest to have sex with her.

She says he fired her six months later after she refused any more sexual contact and he found a man in her bed in the apartment he helped finance.

Wey, 43, also sought to defame Bouveng by posting articles on his blog accusing her of being a "street walker," a "loose woman" and an extortionist, her lawyers say.

Wey walked into a Stockholm cafe in April 2014 where she was working a few months after she was fired from Global Group, attorney David Ratner told jurors.

"The message was: `Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I am going to find you and I am going to get you," Ratner said.

'The man was totally naked, dirty, totally drunk and perhaps on illegal drugs.'

Bouveng had filed a $850million lawsuit against her former employer, claiming he relentlessly harassed her after hiring her as a marketing intern at the company in 2013.

She claimed he pressured her into having sex with him on four occasions, but she had kept it a secret out of shame and fear that he was going to revoke her visa.

Bouveng was hired by Wey in 2013 to be a marketing intern at his company and she was fired from her position a year later

She was fired from the company last year after her boss walked in on her boyfriend lying in her bed in the $3,365-a-month Manhattan apartment Wey had rented for her.

Wey emailed Bouveng's father after finding her in bed with another man, according to the New York Post.

The message read: 'I saw a six-foot-tall homeless black man named James lying on her bed.'

She said during the trial that she feared what Wey would do next after he 'started to harass and stalk me and my family and friends'.

She added: 'I don't want to be in the US right now because I don't know what he's going to do and I feel safer in Sweden.'

Wey has denied having sex with Bouveng, and his lawyers call her lawsuit 'extortion'.

The married financier portrayed her as an opportunist who bragged that her grandfather was the billionaire founder of an aluminum company when Wey first met her in the Hamptons in July 2013.

The Manhattan jury said that there was no proof that Wey, who was not in court on Monday, had assaulted Bouveng, as she had claimed in the lawsuit against him

Wey testified that Bouveng knew nothing about finance before he hired and began mentoring her. He claimed she betrayed his generosity by embracing a party-girl lifestyle that left her too exhausted to succeed.

'I lost a lot of friends and people don't want to be around me anymore. I really don't want to go out and see people either,' Bouveng said during the trial.

'I have applied for jobs but I don't feel as confident as I did before. It's been a tough year.'

Wey, who has been in court with his wife every day since the trial began, was not in the room when the verdict was read.
