LOWES DENY ACCUSATIONS IN NANNY'S SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUIT
Actor ROB LOWE and his wife SHERYL have formally denied all accusations made against them by their former childminder after filing a response to her sexual harassment lawsuit.

Laura Boyce, who worked for the Lowe family last year (07), has accused Sheryl of creating an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment", claiming her ex-boss quizzed her about the size of her African-American boyfriend's penis and regularly paraded around the family home naked.
But, in legal papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior court on Friday (30May08), the Lowes have refuted the allegations, insisting they behaved in no such manner.
They have denied every one of her accusations and have made reference to the statute of limitations, claiming Boyce waited too long before suing them.
The Lowes have also called on a judge to dismiss the case because Boyce has "unclean hands", indicating that even if the couple behaved inappropriately towards the nanny, she has also been unprofessional and therefore doesn't have a righteous case, reports website TMZ.com.
Lowe and his wife filed countersuits against Boyce and two other ex-employees on 7 April (08) after claiming they're the victims of an attempted extortion scheme, led by another former nanny, Jessica Gibson.
