Defending Victims of Sexual Harassment & Sexual Predators
Are you the victim of Sexual Harassment & Sexual Predators? No human being – whether male, female, an adult, a child, an adolescent or LGBTQ – should be subjected to even the prospect of a predatory behavior, an unwanted sexual advance, harassment or a hostile work environment. A person’s work environment should be free of any type of violation of basic human dignity. If you’ve been sexually harassed or subjected to a hostile work environment, or if you’ve been the subject of predatory behavior or unwelcome sexual advances or activities by another person, you may have a claim for money damages. The law offers you protections and it offers consequences for your harasser and in some cases for your employer if they fail to act on your complaints.
Before actor Bill Cosby and movie producer Harvey Weinstein were famously called to account for their inappropriate and illegal sexual harassment of females – which effectively started the #MeToo movement – the perception was that sexual harassment was relatively rare. Since then, however, dozens of people – mostly women – have called out their harassers. The claims for this unacceptable behavior have substantially increased. Victims of sexual harassment & sexual predators have become emboldened to speak out as the specter of these inappropriate, damaging actions come to light in an alarmingly increasing number. What was once hidden and taboo to talk about has become the necessary conversation to help bring an end to this pattern of illegal and harmful behavior.
