Asked on Nov 26th, 2013 on Civil Rights - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
If an employer failed to act after being put on notice with regard to a sexual predator employed at the company and that employee subsequently violated other employees on company premises over a period of time, what recourse do the victims have against their employer?
1 ANSWER
If, in fact, an employer knew, or had reason to know that an employee was a sexual predator, a lawsuit may well lie against the employer if that employee causes harm to another. This presents a relatively complicated legal issue, so it would be important to fully discuss the facts with an attorney.
