Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California
sexual assault by city inspector
city inspector touched me all over my body while supposedly doing a kitchen inspection. i filed a police report and the dept of building and safety came to my home to take a formal statement. i should file a restraining order. should i just go to the courthouse to file?is it the city's obligation to file charges or mine?this man is on vacation in costa rica and is coming back May 21.he was informed prior to leaving about my complaint so i am terrified he may take revenge.should i hire a lawyer at this time?

Yes. Also seek appropriate medical / psychological care, and do not discuss the incident with anybody, especially the city (except for making a police report) until you have consulted with a lawyer.

You have a civil case against him for battery, and, perhaps the city for negligent training, hiring, and retention of unfit employee. Contact me directly.
