Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Michigan
My female co-worker was sexually harassed at work by a co-worker....she reported it, it was investigated internally and the offender cleared due to 2 witnesses lying by stating they didn't see anything and the offender denied the contact. What recourse does she have now, if any?

The employer did their duty and investigated. She still has a job and everyone is on warning, whether it happened or not. My guess is it will stop, but if it continues or gets worse, she should get a micro tape recorded and record her interactions with the harrasser. This could form a winning case if the employer fires her or does nothing after seeing this evidence. kliszlaw.com Tim Klisz
The fact of sexual harassment can be as extreme as a criminal act or as inconsequential as a mistaken impression of a seemingly harmless remark. However no one can speculate any harassment occurred because your inquiry contains no facts.
In any event, you are merely relating another's impression of what you think didn't happen.
Which may explain why nothing has or ever will happen.
