Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

sexual harassment

I have been the victim of sexual harassment . I have been too fatigued and depressed to even to address this issue. However it is still on-going even after employment termination. (he calls me at least once a week and wants me to come over and spend the night )My last day of work was june 2008. I was a dispatcher for a towing company and my employer would repeatedly tell me to take one for the team and have sex with another co worker becuase he was in a bad mood. (I have several witnesses who heard this more than one time) and will vouch for that. When i was filing he would put his arm around around let it slide down to my butt. He would show me porno pics on his laptop...he asked to go for ride on harley one night and instead showed up in his truck ..took me back to office where apt was ..i refused he got furious a and took me home ...the next day he was so mean i tried to quit my job ..he begged to stay snd said it would never happen again. every night before it was time to get off work he would ask me to spend the night with him and i had an excuse everynight and when i said no ...the next day at work This is just some of the things that happend .. need to know if there is a case .....thank you

Re: sexual harassment

IF you can prove your claims, yes, you have a decent case worth pursuing. Your witnesses should be enough to prove it. Feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need in filing suit and pursuing this.

Re: sexual harassment

Hello, and I am sorry about your experience at work. It sounds like you have a legitimate claim for hostile work environment. Two elements would be important - complaining to HR / or the harasser superiors is important to your claim and so are having witnesses to any of that conduct. But even if you don't, your employer has likely incurred significantly liability for this unlawful conduct.

I believe we are too far geographically, but if you would like to follow up, feel free to contact me.

Thanks,

Arkady

Re: sexual harassment

Based upon the facts provided in your question, I would venture to say that you may in fact have a claim for sexual harassment. In addition, you may also have a cause of action for wrongful termination (Constructive termination). Constructive termination arises when an employee is in a hostile work environment of sort (Eg, Sexual Harassment) and your employer refuses to take action. Therefore, the employee has to quit. My firm handles such cases. Please feel free to contact my office at 818.385.0520.

Re: sexual harassment

If you can prove these facts you may have a descent case. The question is how much money does the company have worth going after. Feel free to contact me.
