Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

Re: Cable guy Sexual Harrassment

What the cable guy did (unless he is your husband or boyfriend) could constitute criminal battery or even sexual battery, depending on where he put his hands. He probably has a history. Certainly, you should talk to someone at the cable company in management -- not just the clerk to whom you complain about your bill or cable service. A well-written letter also is called for.

As for his collection efforts, you should be cautious when anyone comes to the door at a late hour, and count your blessings that it wasn't anything more serious.

You might also petition the court for a restraining order against the guy if he didn't let you go or refused to leave after you told him to do so, and you fear that he might injure you if he comes back.

Good luck!

For what it's worth, I'd report this guy to the local police department. They may not be able to prosecute him, for lack of evidence, but you should make a record of it, in case he does it again to some else, or possibly has done this before. It is not likely an isolated incident.

What has been your emotional reaction to his conduct? Do you need counselling? His conduct was beyond the bounds of civil society and if the cable company was on notice of this type of behavior then they may be hooked as well perhaps for punitive damages. Call me directly at 16192223504.
