Re: I`am accussed of sexual harrassement

Nothing is worse than being wrongly accused of something, much less something as bad as this. I am sorry you are going through this.

Your boss needs to hire a lawyer. He needs to investigate the situation. Why one of your guys has a picture of his "privates" on his phone and how she would know that needs to be investigated.

You may want to have a lawyer too, but that is up to you. It is kind of expensive for one person to fund but the company can cover everyone wrongly accused and save itself some funds as well.

Our firm handles sexual harassment defense and investigation. If your boss or you want to speak to us about investigating these unfounded claims, you may contact me by sending an e-mail or clicking on the links provided below.

Good Luck.
