They fired him. What protection did they provide?

I assumed there was negligence on the side of the firm because of the lawsuit.

Well the article says she's alleging retaliation, which seems like a bit more than just negligence.

Did the do that before or after the civil suit went public?

Assuming the article is reporting it faithfully, before.

Doesn't meet any definition of "protective". I don't know the details here, but if the person did such thing claimed and deserves punishment, it's for society via the criminal justice system to decide and hand out.

I read the article and I'm not seeing that at all.
