You can report sexual harassment at any time. However, generally agencies like the EEOC or OCRC will only investigate harassment that has happened within the last 6 months. You may want to speak with an attorney directly about what has occurred and your rights.   Ohio sexual harassment lawyer http://mcoffmanlegal.com/practice-areas/other-services/sexual-harassment/...

Is a coworker continuously touching your arm sexual harrassment?

Answered 8 years and 3 months ago by Stephan Math (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
It would appear to me that the unwanted touching coupled with his statements would indeed be viewed as sexual harassment. What I would recommend that you do is inform him that his statements and toluching are unwelcolme and that you would appreciate it if he would refrain from doing that in the future...should it continue I would repoort it to either HR or your supervisor (in writing)..Stephan Math - smesq1@aol.com/stephanmathlaw.com...

Can I sue a school district for terminating me in retaliation to the sexual harassment complaint I had reported?

Answered 8 years and 3 months ago by Stephan Math (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Because sexual harassment is in fact a violation of law which requires employers once they are aware tlo take action, your status as a probationary employee is irrelevant so, the answer is yes, you can sue your employer for sexual harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination. Of course, much would depend on the evidence that you have that you made the colmplaints..hopefully these were made in writing. In California, if you are to make any claims of violations of the Fair Employment and Housing Act..that Act requires that you first file a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing within one year of your having been terminated. Once you file that complaint you have the option of either allowing that agency to investigate the complaint or, you may elect to retain private counsel to file a lawsuit.  Stephan Math (805)300-2097  ...

My wife recently quit a job where the supervisor had a sexual relationship with her co-worker and made a sexual advance towards my wife.

Answered 8 years and 8 months ago by attorney Kirk J. Angel   |   1 Answer
I do not see a question.  However, if you are asking if your wife has a claim, the answer is maybe.  Sexual harassment in Tennessee must be pervasive or severe.  In general, severe isi something similar to rape or sexual assualt.  That means that most sexual harassment claims are brought pursuant to the pervasive standard meaning that the sexual conduct (statements, actions) must occur repeatedly over time.   A single comment or action (or advance) is not enough.  Now, her co-worker might have a sexual harassment claim if the relationship was forced....
