Judge awards nearly $230,000 to woman who got 153 robocalls

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in Manhattan ordered Time Warner Cable Inc. to make the $229,500 payment to Araceli King of Irving, Texas, citing the New York-based company's “particularly egregious" behavior as it violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. Hellerstein said he tripled the $1,500 penalty for each call because Time Warner's actions were “particularly egregious" since it continued making the calls even after King complained in a seven-minute phone conversation in Oct. 2013 with a company representative that the calls to her phone were apparently meant for a customer she did not know.
