I'm so sorry that you were sexually assaulted at work. His behavior was not only inappropriate, but it was illegal. You definitely have rights and there are some actions you may want to take to protect your rates. For example, you should consider reporting this in writing to Human Resources. If you are still working with this individual, you may have a right to have him removed from the premises or to have him work different shifts so that you do not have to work in close proximity to him. I recommend that you get a free consultation with an attorney. Many of us would be happy to provide one. All you need to do is ask. Eric A. Shore
