Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Sexual Harassment against a minor
Hi, I know someone who is 17 years
old and works part time at a furniture
store. She started working there
when she was 16 and told me that 2
months after she was hired, an
employee started harassing her and
actually tried to sexually assault her.
She never told anyone but me and
didn't quit her job
because she threatened him with
calling the police and his harassment
ceased, yet recently he began texting
her and trying to contact her again.
She still has some of the text
messages and there are also some
witnesses. Does she have enough
evidence to file a lawsuit,is
there a time frame within she has to
do it, and what would most likely be
the severity and outcome of doing
that?

Feel free to have your friend call my office to discuss her case. We would need to discuss in detail whether she has a strong case of sexual harassment.

OF course there are 'time frames' called statutes of limitations. She still has time since the conduct is ongoing. She has to prove her case through witnesses and documents, which it sounds like she has. Have her contact me if serious about pursuing this.
