More details to this question:
A man I worked with (he just got fired last week for no call no show) told one of our 14 year old girls how sexy she is. Her mother called our store manager and said it happened on more than 1 occasion and to stop it. Our store manager told everyone and talked to him. He didn't say anything else to the girl but he continued to say and do things to the adult women. Our manager knew it too. Is the manager in the wrong for that?

This answer in does not create a lawyer/client relationship. If the manager was put on actual notice, best done in writing by a woman who was sexually harassed, and did nothing the manager and the owner (as the manager is an agent of the owner) are certainly derelict in their duties, but the man who actually did this is guilty of sexual harassment. This is not a criminal offense unless he touched someone, as an unwanted touch is a battery. The man, the manager, and the owner should all be reported in writing to the department of labor. I would suggest that every woman who was sexually harassed, regardless of age, all file this report together. This type of activity has no place in the workplace, and if any of the women involved is fired, as a result of reporting this, then she would have a case against the man, the manager and the owner under Title 7. I would hope that the letter triggers an investigation into this matter by the Department of Labor.
