Some people view spanking adults as a sexual act. On the kinkier side of things, people engage in spanking as foreplay.  If, in an office situation, a man swatted a female on her behind, it would be viewed as sexual.  So perhaps even though this took place within the confines of a "comrade building exercise" the fact that a female got swatted, it could be interpreted as sexual.  \n\nLet's be practical here, if you are going to claim "injury" over this, you have to pile on as much as possilbe.  Adding sexual harassment MAY have been the brain child of a lawyer.  Of course, perhaps she really felt that way. . .

Part of the enjoyment of participating in this service is trying to decipher the sometimes incoherent questions.\n\nLet's see if I guess what you are asking.\n\nYou are an employee somewhere and you think someone else is harassing you.\n\nIf the harasser is your employer, and the harassment is based on one of the protected categories [age, gender, ethnicity, religion, color, disability, race] then you might have some protection.\n\n"Get back to work!" is usually not actionable harassment.\n"Get back to work, you stupid old Lutheran men!" probably is actionable.\n\nIf the harasser is a fellow employee and your employer does not protect you from it, you might have an action against the employer and the harasser.\n\nIf the harasser is a customer, you are not required to tolerate that behavior and can force your employer to remove the harasser.\n\nRather than threaten to contact your attorney, quietly contact the lawyer and discuss the situation. Your lawyer is in a much better position to advise you whether or not you have a cause of action. And, making threats usually just makes you look pathetic.\n\nIn my expereince, about 2% of the cases were worth pursuing - the rest were just situations where the employee had to "suck it up" or find another job.\n\nGood luck to you

It depends on if this is a work place, school, club, public restroom, who, where, what, when and why not to mention how.\n\nThe victems consequences are just as varied. \n\nPlease elaborate? In the mean time, read this and your answer might already be given.\n\n\n\nSexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.\n\nUnwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.\n\nSexual harassment can occur in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to the following:\n\nThe victim as well as the harasser may be a woman or a man. The victim does not have to be of the opposite sex. \nThe harasser can be the victim's supervisor, an agent of the employer, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or a non-employee. \nThe victim does not have to be the person harassed but could be anyone affected by the offensive conduct. \nUnlawful sexual harassment may occur without economic injury to or discharge of the victim. \nThe harasser's conduct must be unwelcome. \nIt is helpful for the victim to directly inform the harasser that the conduct is unwelcome and must stop. The victim should use any employer complaint mechanism or grievance system available.\n\nWhen investigating allegations of sexual harassment, EEOC looks at the whole record: the circumstances, such as the nature of the sexual advances, and the context in which the alleged incidents occurred. A determination on the allegations is made from the facts on a case-by-case basis.\n\nPrevention is the best tool to eliminate sexual harassment in the workplace. Employers are encouraged to take steps necessary to prevent sexual harassment from occurring. They should clearly communicate to employees that sexual harassment will not be tolerated. They can do so by establishing an effective complaint or grievance process and taking immediate and appropriate action when an employee complains.

Eesh.  You've got a difficult situation.\n\nI would not file a lawsuit unless you want this to drag on for years and other women have been harassed as well and complained to no avail.\n\nI would, however, file an official complaint against him so that it's on his track record with the company.  That way, should another woman be in this situation, the company can't say they didn't know about it.\n\nIf the company penalizes you for the complaint, then you have a case.  Otherwise you can't blame the company when they acted on your complaint for not doing something when they weren't aware.  In this case, they seem to have reacted to the issue.. but still something official needs to be filed.

If you were in a Union, you would definitely have a right to find out. I suppose by your question that asking is out of the question. Have someone send them a letter pretending to be a prospective employer asking about your employment history. If they say anything about why you were fired, they have violated Federal law. You will find out why they fired you, and can sue the pants off them.

How old is the girl for one thing.\nCan an innocent incident be interpreted as an out right attack?\nDoes the girl have issues and looking for attention?\nThere have been times kids falsely accuse someone just for the attention or to keep them from trouble.\n\nBut the guy could be arrested...and if the accusations turn out to be false....the accuser and her parents could be sued in a civil court for monetary damges.\n\nIt seems pedophilia is the new witch hunt.....point a finger at someone and they are burned at the stake.

Yes under sexual harassment.  Contact the US Department of Labor and file a complaint.  They then can act on it or allow you to hire a lawyer and have the lawyer act on it.  Under the law they must be given the chance to act before you can goto court.

Any unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature or creating a hostile environment can be construed as harassment. I doubt you will be convicted. The judge will see the full picture. Your ex is just trying to push your buttons. You are fine, nothing to worry about.

Go up the command chain. First talk to some of the other students and make sure they'll back you up. Ask them in an e-mail or a note if they remember the phrase "just a girl..." and see if they'd be willing to sign a statement to the effect.\n\nTalk to your parents (if they're good parents) and have them take you to the principle. Explain that you've been a victim of sexual harassment and you will let the school board know, but will give the principle some time to resolve the matter themselves. Demand positive and swift resolution of the problem, but be polite about it.\n\nSure you have them by the "balls" as it were, but there's no need to hack off everyone who can help you by threatening them. If the principle doesn't give you a satisfactory answer, don't challenge them, just go higher (school board, sexual harassment support organizations, etc.).\n\nAlso look for online resources to get additional information such as the link I've provided.

When I was younger, I faced this same situation and it was very uncomfortable.  My advice to you is twofold:  First, let your boss know that his comments are not appreciated and are unprofessional, preferably via email so you have proof.  Next, request a confidential interview with your companies HR department.  I guarantee your claim will be taken seriously, especially if you come with proof in hand. My guess is either your boss will be terminated after the investigation or severely reprimanded.  Most comapnies have a zero tolerance for sexual harassment as it has cost businesses millions of dollars if it goes to court.  Document everything you did to try to resolve the situation.  Use a notebook and note days you spoke to someone, who you spoke with, their title and what statements they made.  Be very factual-do not embellish.  If your company wants to bury this or refuses to correct the situation, which is unlikely, then go to a lawyer with your notebook, any emails or written correspondence and your voice recording.  The voice recording may not be admissible in court as it is illegal in many states to record someone without their consent however bring it all and let the lawyer determine what he can use or not, if it should come to that.  If you do go to court, it will take a long time so be prepared to find another job and carry on with your life.  But you have a good chance of your company doing the right thing so more than likely that last piece of advice will not be necessary.  Good luck and remember, you are protected from sexual harassment by law.

you can fill out a police report.  i've had to do it before.  the officer will come out to your house, and sit down with you, take some notes and contact the person and inform them that there's been a report of harassment filed against them.  \n\nabove all else, i'd completely ignore whoever is sending you these harassing messages.  if you don't feed their need for attention, they'll eventually quit.  or at least, the person did in my case.\n\ngood luck!

Fist: DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR THIS CREEP!!!!   Feel sorry for him?  Just imagine him doing the same thing to another girl, which he does or at least probably will.  I am a guy and I used to supervise a call center of almost all women and I always was very careful about not harrassing anyone!  \n\nYou should file a lawsuit, but you probably can't because you probably didn't keep a detailed log of exactly how and when he harrassed you and it would help to have some other ladies there with the same complaints and details.  Probably not, right?  Ok.  \n\nSo at least file a formal complaint with the company so it's on record that this has happened.  Why?  Because then when he does the same thing to other girls (which he will...) and someone else sues him (which will happen eventually if he keeps it up...), your complaint will help her case tremendously by demonstrating that he has a history of harrassment.
