Sexual Harassment The harasser's typical defense is that (a) it never happened or (b) that any sexual contact was consensual. In representing the victims of sexual harassment, the Law Offices of Carolyn St. Clair, R.N., J.D. begins by explaining the definition and scope of sexual harassment covered under federal and state legislation. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances by a supervisor, employer or co-worker, as well as inappropriate sexual comments and a hostile work created by sexually explicit materials or overtones.
Before filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against an employer, the complaint must go through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If the EEOC determines sufficient cause for a claim, we can then approach the employer. Frequently there is a quick and confidential settlement of the amount recommended by the EEOC, as the harasser and the employer are eager to avoid publicity or a trial and by this point the claim has been substantiated by the EEOC as having merit. If the employer wishes to go to trial, Carolyn St. Clair is a tenacious and thoroughly prepared litigator who has prevailed in many trials.
