Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

Does an asian female will sue if called a giesha in the work place?

I use to work for a law enforcement association and there was questionable sexual harassment.

Example 1: My interim executive director told another co worker that, I had perky boobs and a great body. and it was hard to talk to me because he kept on staring down my shirt.

Example 2: The Vice Presidents of the organization took a liking to and told another co worker that I was a good little giesha girl with a nice body.

Although these comments were never said to me is this also ground for sexual harassment

Hi,

As long as the statute of limitations has not run, you should have a viable sexual harassment suit. I will need further information to fully assess your case. Contact me for a free consultation if you are in the Bay Area (415/772-9652).

Used to? You only have a year to bring your claims, so if it has been a year, you are too late. If not too late, read on.

The facts you describe are classic 'hostile environment' and sexual harassment grounds. Find a good lawyer and bring your claims. If interested you can contact me.
