Is your perpetrator still working along side you? Also it appears that you were the victim of retaliation for complaining about the behavior which would be another violation. Discuss your case with counsel here in Florida for a full review of the facts of your case. Also does the company have more than 15 employees? Can you corroborate the fondling allegations through third party eyewitness, or was there any verbal harassment that can be documented through text messages she sent you? or is it a he said she said?...

Sexual harassment

Answered 11 years and 2 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer
There is a time period in which you have to file an EEOC charge, and then after making a timely filing, EEOC will then do their own investigation and you will be issued a right to sue letter by that agency such that you can bring a civil action against your employer. It is always best to speak with a lawyer about the various time periods that apply to your case, as every case is unique.    Stephen Black... Read More

It is hard to tell you whether you have a viable cause of action for sexual harassment, since you have not included any details about the specific harassment.  That said, your employer has an obligation to take action if you made such a complaint to stop that kind of behavior.  You should contact a local attorney in Florida who does employment litigation and run the facts of your case by him and he can tell you whether you have a viable claim. They take these cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed. Additionally, initial consultations are usually free. Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
