IS IT CONSENSUAL? are you enjoying it and keeping quiet or are you complaining? it makes a HUGE difference...\n\nif you are complaining and it is uninviting..then ask him to look up the sexual harrasment section or inappropriate action at work..he'll leave you alone QUICK..and if he doesn't report him..

The answer lies in whether the advance was welcome or not welcome.  It's never appropriate to pat a woman on the behind unless you're in an established relationship with her and it's not offensive to her.  Americans have 18" on average of personal space that should not be intruded upon.  In both of your examples, it is sexual harassment but it's also the woman's prerogative to press charges.

Well, you haven't given a lot of details about what happened, but first of all, I think if he did anything sexual to you that offends you, then you should put harassment charges on him.  Sexual harassment is something that should not be tolerated!  If not, then take him aside one day (not while you are supposed to be working, you don't want to lose your job over this) and tell him that you need to talk to him about what happened before and that he can't go on pretending it didn't happen.  Let him know that you don't like the way he disrespected you.  Chances are he will stop after that, but if he keeps on, report it to a supervisor.  Nobody should have to deal with this in the workplace!!!  Good luck!

Sexual harrassment in the making.\n\n\nTell the dude thats hitting on you to bug off and warn him of your intentions. If he fails to heed your warning then you need to advise your supervisor, manager, head honcho of the situation or Human Resources. If the management or HR fails to correct the situation and the harrassment continues, then they can be held liable and litigation can result.

Don't mention sexual harassment, you'll scare future employers.  Make something up like the commute was too far, or  your childs schedule changed and you need somthing new, blah, blah, something sort of vague yet relatively positive.

The next time that your boss tells you that "this is a man's job", remind him that he is breaking the law.  A job is a job, there no longer is a "man's" job, just like there is no longer a "woman's" job.\n\nAlso let him know that if there is any more harassment by your co-workers, you will consider that as management's consent and approval of the unacceptable behavior, and you are prepared to take appropriate action, legal and otherwise.\n\nLet him know that you have started a log of inappropriate action/ behavior of fellow employees and management personnel. Starting with the instant conversation, you are documenting everything that is said and done (who, what, where, when, time, place, and witnesses), that you consider to be harassment or sexual discrimination, and/ or related matters such as counselling sessions that you may be involved in.\n\nAlso make him aware that any adverse action such as termination, discipline, demotion, or transfer to a less desirable position will be considered retaliation, and if it happens you will take further more aggressive action.\n\nTell him these are not threats but commitments. \n\nAsk him if that is "tough enough"!

It is your responsibility to report the situation,she is not trustworthy.Let the chips fall where they may or you might be implicated in her indiscretions.\n  Don't confront her,or she will drag you down with her,and accuse you of "sexual harrasment"..you don't want that tag..women who like to climb ladders in a company love to use that as a way of achieving higher success,and use you to do it . \n  Don't get caught up in her lying world by trying to be a nice guy. \n  Nice guys finish last.

Dress conservatively and bend down at the knee so customers won't get such a view. Or talk to your manager about sexual harrassment and how you handle it. \n\nIn your personal life, to gauge the interest of someone, don't have sex with them until 6 months into the relationship. Most guys won't stick around that long if they just want to get into your pants.

It's time for you to go over your immediate bosses head to upper management.  Before you do, I would document and entire weeks worth of instances along with date, place and time the harassment takes place.  I really feel for you and I hope your situation improves soon - God bless!

there are women in my workplace who have ascended to managerial positions, starting out as secretaries/assistants, with only  a hs degree or an associates. men don't have that luck.\nAnd besides, any word or stare can be considered harassment, making women untouchable in an office.

Well, it depends. The closest charge would probably be false reporting, dealing with the when the first report of harassment was filed with the police. But that would only work if there was absolute proof. Harassment is a gray area when it comes to proof. Police and the courts tend to believe women over men with little proof.

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.

I would ask him to wait one moment and then I would immediately seek my supervisor and ask him to repeat what he said. He probably wouldn't, but I don't think he would bother you again make an effort to come through your line.  I would do that each time he did come through.  If he did a second time, I would stop, grab the closest thing to write on, ask him to sign it and put his phone number on it and report it to the police.  It is sexual harrassment and he maybe stalking you, a pedophile, or a wanted sexual criminal.  By being intimidated by him, you allow him to be in control of the situation.  If you firmly approach him, then he is most likely to stand back.

I wouldn't think it would be sexual assault, but it would be assault.  I suspect that some of the people claiming this in forums are lying, perhaps to make themselves look better.  If it was done to me, I would file assault charges.

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.
