Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California
harasser's words against victim
My Asian Manager who was posted in the US only last year has been proposing to me to have sex with him. We started off as friends because he said I am the only one he could talk to about anything and so he considered me his best friend. He would talk to me openly about his sex life and in details too because he loves sex. Although I wasn�t comfortable, I didn�t let him know for fear of upsetting him knowing that he is a vindictive person and doesn�t like being rejected. Recently he suddenly shouted at me because he didn�t like what I said which is work related. He said I should not be talking to him like that bec. he is my manager and he didn�t like it. That hit me. All these months he has been talking to me about sex and repeatedly asking me to have sex with him, now he has the choice what should be said to him. What about me, what choice do I have? So I went to my HR Mngr. and reported he has been sexually harassing me. I have no witnesses but I have 2 e-mails that says he miss me and one says � he has been waiting for �our meeting� since June 2003. Is there a chance for me to win this case against him? I did not want any monetary compensation, I just want him sent back to his home country.

Re: harasser's words against victim
You should formally complain, in writing. Your facts and evidence should be enough to show the harassment. There may be other evidence. Did you talk to anyone about what was going on? If interested in having me help you, contact me.

If company not aware of his behavior before your reporting the matter, they probably have a defense. If they do not take action to resolve, they may be responsible. Make sure you put your statements of complaint in writing.
