I had been working for Blanco bowling club for 6 months, no problems. Than the club got a new president. He become handsy , made me feel violated. Rubbing my shoulder and down my back. I told him not to touch me. That was Saturday. I quite on Monday after he did again. I had a good job till then and I would still have it. If it weren't for him. Today Friday I went to get my check. He was very offensive, denied what he did and banned me and my family from the premises. I have lived in Blanco for over 45 years. And have never ever been treated like this..

It appears like you have a case. When a manager or supervisor or as in your case, a president sexually harasses a subordinate employee, that subordinate does not have a duty to report the harassment. The challenge will be if you have independent corroboration to prove he did this to you. Discuss in private with counsel.
