They understand how hard it was to go to work knowing sexual harassment might, or would occur. Workplace sexual harassment takes many forms. Initially, victims of sexual harassment might not realize the intention of the sexual harasser. They might think the conduct was just being friendly. Others are shocked. The bizarreness and inappropriate nature of sexual harassment often blind sights victims who might wonder if it is really happening, or remain frozen not knowing what to do. All of this is uncomfortable Sexual harassment is about not being comfortable. It is important to address the problem of sexual harassment before victims become less comfortable in their own bodies. Unfortunately, many sexual harassment victims report they change the way they dress and look in order to deter clearly illegal sexual harassment.

Sexual harassment does not have to be based upon requests for romance, dates, or sex. It does not have to be based upon a physical attraction. Sometimes low-level supervisors, especially if they are new, are testing their power and control. Acts of sexual harassment are meant to show dominance over the victim. Examples of sexual harassment include: 1. Text messages in which obscene pictures are sent, there is an attempt to flirt, or invite Oneself to where the sexual harassment victim is 2. Verbal comments relating to one’s body, sex, requests to see the person outside of work 3. Touching the victim’s body maybe claiming it is due to close quarters, an accident, or to prevent something that would never actually happen 4. Touching parts of the victim’s body there is never a reason to touch 5. Blocking the sexual harassment victim, or causing their confinement 6. Writing strange love letters to the victim 7. Buying the victim unwanted gifts 8. Compliments about the victim’s clothing, physical appearance 9. Quid pro quo sexual harassment involves the harasser offering something, usually job benefits such as a promotion, or better hours in exchange for sexual harassment, touchings, or dates ### **Sexual Harassment Complaints, Retaliation** Our sexual harassment law firm is here for you if you are not able to work for your employer after you complain about sexual harassment. A variety of things can occur after a complaint of sexual harassment. Some victims of sexual harassment are simply unable to continue working for the same employer due to the sexual harassment. We are here for you if you were forced to quit due to sexual harassment. In other situations, the employer might refuse to remove the sexual harasser from the victim’s scheduled work areas. Perhaps if the sexual harassment was serious, the sexual harasser should have been fired and the victim feels the company was just not there for them, or the employers is not a law-abiding company they want to invest their future in. Obviously if the victim of sexual harassment is retaliated against after complaining it is important to take legal action. Retaliation includes firing the victim, reducing their hours, giving them a less desirable shift, changing their job, firing them, or transferring them instead of the harasser. Employees have a right to complain about sexual harassment. A failure to complain about sexual harassment is not legally fatal if the sexual harassment was done by a person who was a supervisor, or higher, but employers might raise the avoidable consequence defense and claim had you complained earlier the harassment would have stopped. In all cases, there is not supposed to be retaliation due to a legitimate complaint of sexual harassment whether the sexual harassment happened to you, or a coworker. If the sexual harassment has been occurring for a long time, and it was done by a supervisor or higher it is important to call our sexual harassment law firm at [(909) 663-2100](tel:9096632100). A discussion should be had about whether you should simply sue opposed to getting into a sexual harassment investigation that will probably go nowhere, but the employer will have a chance to question you without a lawyer present. ## Our Firm: No Upfront Fees or Costs ### Contingency Fee Representation All employment cases for employees are taken on a **contingency basis**.
