Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Arizona

History as a nude dancer
A good friend who has worked as a nude dancer (including bachelor parties, but not including actual sexual conduct) was hired as an office worker. Her boss (the owner) offered her a substantial raise and promotion for sex. She initially agreed and complied, then told him she would no longer comply. She was fired. Is she barred from a sexual harassment complaint - what if any case law bears on the issue?

Re: History as a nude dancer

Certainly not barred; neither her history nor her initial

consent compromise her rights to refuse sex without fear of

retribution in the job marketplace.

If she could prove what you wrote (i.e., convince a judge

or jury of those 'facts', including why she was

fired), she should win her case, legally.

She'd better go see a local lawyer, though. I'd prefer a woman

lawyer who would probably know enough to lecture her not to be

too embarassed about aspects of herself.
