Sexual Harassment Law Firm New York
Has your boss ever offered you a promotion in exchange of sexual favors? Does anyone in your office keep pestering you to go out with him even though you have repeatedly said ‘no'? Have you ever heard any dirty jokes in your workplace that disturb or offend you?
Sexual harassment can take on many forms, not just the situations mentioned above. Basically, it can take on the form of any unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature. It can range from behavior as trifling as cracking dirty jokes to life-threatening sexual assault.
Why Are Courts ‘Inconsistent' in Trying Sexual Harassment Cases?
According to federal law, sexual harassment is a form of sexual discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. While it is easy to define sexual harassment, it is very difficult to apply that definition to a set of particular facts. Court opinions can seem inconsistent about whether or not sexual harassment has occurred. Sometimes cases with strikingly similar facts have ended in different verdicts.
It is because of people's diverse views of sex that make sexual harassment cases so difficult. What may be a funny dirty joke for one person may be an offensive sexual slur to another. This is why you need the experience of a sexual harassment lawyer if you feel you are a victim of sexual harassment.
