Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Attorney Rayl L. Stepter Fighting for Your Rights Since 1993

There are two types of sexual harassment. Hostile work environment sexual harassment involves unwanted sexual advances, touching, groping, sexual remarks, e-mails, or graphic sexual material in the workplace.

Quid pro quo sexual harassment involves a demand for sexual favors in exchange for something else, such as a raise, a promotion, or special privileges.

According to the U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC) sexual harassment can including a wide range of circumstances, including: but not limited to the following:

• The victim does not have to be of the opposite sex.
• The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, an agent of the employer, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or a non-employee.
• The victim does not have to be the person harassed but could be anyone affected by the offensive conduct.
• Unlawful sexual harassment may occur without economic injury to the victim. The victim need not be fired to bring a claim.
• The harasser's conduct must be unwelcome.

Were you denied a promotion because you rebuffed unwelcome sexual advances? Have you had enough of your co-worker's graphic sexual language?
