Generally there are two types of sexual harassment:
- Harassment involving rude or offensive language, touching, jokes, pictures, e-mails, comments or displays, or repeated requests for dates.
- "Quid pro quo" harassment, in which a superior demands sex for employment benefits like a promotion, a raise, a job or continued employment.
It is important that you obtain knowledgeable legal advice before you proceed with a case, or decide that you do not have a case. Even light touching of some body parts is classified as sexual battery. The timing of employment termination is strictly governed by law, and retaliation for resisting inappropriate activity is unlawful.
