Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Colorado

16 year old co-worker afraid to press sexual harassment charges

I havea co-worker who is 16 yrs. old. Our manager sexually harassed her and then wrote her up when she got upset. She thinks that she can't do anything, since she is still considered a minor. What can she do and who could help her?

Re: 16 year old co-worker afraid to press sexual harassment charges

On the contrary! The fact that she is a minor gives rise to some extremely serious charges - both criminal and civil. She needs to file a written complaint and then consult with an attorney immediately.

We are busy and probably not able to take on another client matter at this time; I would, however, be more than happy to chat with you on the phone and, if unable to assist you ourselves, I certainly can refer you to several other excellent firms and attorneys.
