A civil jury reached the verdict in New York City on Thursday, ordering the 80-year-old actor's company to pay his ex-personal assistant Graham Chase Robinson $1.26 million (£1.03 million) in damages. "We are delighted that the jury saw what we saw and returned a verdict in Chase Robinson's favor against Robert De Niro's company, Canal Productions.” David Sanford, an attorney for Graham Chase Robinson told Fox News Digital. "Not only did Ms Robinson win her case against Canal, but the jury completely vindicated Ms Robinson by finding De Niro's claims against her to be without merit."
