New York Sexual Harassment Lawyer

Sexual harassment continues to be a problem for many people in the work force, making it incredibly difficult to perform job duties competently and efficiently.  No employee deserves to be subjected to any type of sexual harassment at their workplace. If you are a victim of sexual harassment, you have legal rights under New York’s sexual harassment laws.  A skilled attorney can inform of these rights, evaluate your situation, and help you take legal action if necessary.

Sexual harassment refers to unwanted touching or unwarranted comments that are sexual in nature. Sexual harassment also includes bribing an employee for sexual favors, threatening to fire an employee if he or she does not perform certain sexual acts, or promising an employee favors in exchange for sex, such a promotion or raise. This type of sexual harassment is commonly referred to as “quid pro quo,” which means, “something for something.” Other common forms of sexual harassment include:

• Sexual advances
• Jokes that are offensive or sexual in nature
• Suggestive glances or stares
• Inappropriate noises or gestures
• Sexual assault
• Displayed images, posters, or graphics that are sexually inappropriate or offensive
• Requests for sexual favors
• Sexual or offensive comments
• Inappropriate touching, rubbing, fondling, grabbing, pinching, etc.
• Retaliation (an employer fires or punishes the victim for taking legal action against the employer for sexual harassment)

Although the majority of sexual harassment victims are women, men can also be victims of sexual harassment as well.  Furthermore, sexual harassment can occur between members of the opposite sex or the same sex. If feel you have been sexually harassed, you should contact an attorney immediately. An experienced New York sexual harassment attorney like Jonathan C. Reiter can help you file a claim against your harasser.
