Technical law question about a company on the news being sued, can any lawyers answer this for us?

My friend and I were watching the news about a woman who was sexually harassed at work and sued the company. She was awarded $95 million, obviously a substantial amount of money, and we were curious as to whether or not the specific "harasser" (she was harassed multiple times by one specific individual) could in turn be sued by the company -- in addition to being sued/charged w/ assault and harassment by the original defendant -- considering he and he alone personally cost the company $95 million dollars? And if no, why not?
