Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

My question has a few different parts to it :

1. What if I know that I was let go due to the fact that I was not cooperating with my boss's demands that I participate in a sexual relationfship with him - even though I had cooperated with his demands in the past (when I first began working for him)- Will this constitute as a sexual harrassment case ?

2. By bringing a sexual harassment case against my former boss am I ever going to be able to procure a job/career in the Law field or any other field for that matter? Everyone says it is against the law to bar a candidate from applying for a job after they have filed a lawsuit against a former employer- but after 5 years now a friend of mine( who settled a case against her former employer - an attorney) has not been able to get a job because of this "unspoken reason".

I believe you have a good case for sexual harassment and wrongful termination based upon retaliation. You should strongly consider seeking the advice of an attorney. As to whether such claims follow you, it might but shouldn't and I would NOT let that deter you. It is wrong and outrageous to have your job status conditioned upon sexual favors. I hope this helps.
