Sexual Harassment

Contact us today for a free legal consultation about your sexual harassment case.

The Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has defined sexual harassment as "unwelcome sexual advancements, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature…when… submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for employment decisions… or such conduct has the purpose or effect of… creating intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment."

Sexual harassment is far broader than threats of discharge for rejecting sexual advances. Other circumstances of sexual harassment include:

• Repeated sexual innuendo, obscene or off-color jokes, slurs, lewd remarks and language;
• Content in letters and notes, faxes, e-mail and graffiti that is of a sexual nature or sexually abusive;
• Sexual propositions, insults and threats;
• Sexually-oriented demeaning names;
• Persistent unwanted sexual or romantic overtures or attention;;
• Leering, whistling or other sexually suggestive sounds or gestures;
• Displaying pornographic pictures, calendars, cartoons or other sexual material in the workplace;
• Coerced or unwelcome touching, patting, brushing up against, pinching, kissing, stroking, massaging, squeezing, fondling or tickling;
• Subtle or overt pressure for sexual favors; and coerced sexual intercourse.

 

Sexual harassment statutes are in effect in various forms in all states, generally modeled on the Federal law. What principally differs from state-to-state are the remedies and damages given in successful sexual harassment claims. Some states allow money damages for personal injuries, while others also allow punitive damages to be rewarded.

If you were sexually harrassed, our skilled sexual harassment attorneys can assist you in evaluating your case.
