Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

I was a caregiver for 4 years. I worked for my daughters biological father taking care of his mom. When I became engaged, I cut him off sexually and he went to his sisters to have them fire me. They hired a lady that was suppose to help me out, but in reality she was replacing me after she had given 2 weeks notice where she was. They didnt give me any notice. They fired me because they said it was to emotionally upsetting for Gary to see me now that I was engaged. But told me I could work weekends if I wanted to keep my job. Which contrdicted the firing, because he was there on the weekends. And it couldnt of been to upsetting because he bothered me constantly to have sex with him. It was happening more and more. I would come in late hoping he would of left for work already. They didnt take taxes out of my check or pay into my social security. Do I have a lawsuit for sexual harassment or anything else?

It sounds like you have a really good case for quid pro quo sexual harassment. Obviously that is only a preliminary assessment based on what little you have provided, but if it is backed by admissible evidence and not contradicted by other evidence, you should prevail. I would be very interested in taking the case if I were local to you. You should find a local lawyer. The county bar association provides a referral service if you do not have anyone who can recommend one to you.
