A US man who was fired for visiting an adult chat room during work hours is suing the company for $6.4 million claiming he is a sex and internet addict who deserves sympathy rather than the sack. Four months prior to his dismissal, Pacenza had been cautioned over his use of the net during company time and advised his actions were against company policy.
James Pacenza, 58, says he visits chat rooms as treatment for traumatic stress which dates back to the Vietnam War when he saw his best friend killed during a patrol. In his suit, Pacenza claims that the stress has caused him to become "a sex addict and, with the development of the internet, an internet addict".
