NEW YORK -For Patricia C. Luca, a seven-year legal battle against Nassau County agencies has brought some vindication: Last week a jury awarded the county correction officer $150,000 for being discriminated against in retaliation for her earlier sexual harassment lawsuit against the county.

Luca, 38, a 12-year correction veteran, had charged the county, its police department and its civil service commission with blocking her from becoming a police officer in retaliation for the earlier lawsuit. The eight-member federal jury, with its compensatory damage award, apparently believed her.
