    The torts Mark might have committed by his action includes:

    assault and battery intentional infliction of emotional distress defamation of character

    Explanation:

    Assault and battery : grabbing of the 25 year old employ by the hand is considered forceful and wrong handling of a person and therefore is considering assault

    Intentional infliction of emotional distress: keeping her in his office without actually seeking for her consent and also with her not aware of his next line of action can cause her emotional distress

    defamation of character : screaming at her in front of other employees without evidence of stealing is considered defamation of the employees character

    Mark committed torts of physical and emotional torture, identity defamation or name slander as well as public distress.

    Explanation:

    A tort which is a legal word, is an offense whether intentional or negligently, that caused an injury and can be remedied at civil law, usually through awarding damages. Mark, who is the employer just believed that Angel was stealing from him. This accusation was without proof and Angel was not trialled at court by a judge. Mark can be arraigned in court for defamation of identity or name slander, physical and emotional torture as well as public distress if Angel decides to take the issue to court. Mark's actions can severely cause him if at the end of a long trial that Angel had been found not guilty if the accusations. Mark will be asked to pay for damages.
