Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

Sexual harrassment by a Board of Director

I filed a sexual harrassment claim against a Board of Director of our company. Our manager intervened and caused the Director to resign. Since then, the Director continues to call the office where I occasionally answer the phone or he makes contact with those that work around me. He has been requested to not call the office but continues to do so. This creates an extremely stressful environment. What are my recourses?

Immediately I would say, "Tell your attorney." Don't tell me that you don't have an attorney on your side! Ofcourse you can file stalking charges and put an end to it or a restraining order, but the best thing to do is to proceed toward a civil suit against your employer (beginning by filing a claim with the EEOC -within 300 days of harrassment; or the DFEH- with in one year. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

You may be able to seek a personal restraining order to prohibit the director from contacting you. This is a procedure which will require a court hearing. You should consult with an attorney if you feel strongly.

Follow up with a formal complaint to the company about the new facts. You can also seek a restraining order against him. Contact me if interested in the restraining order or other court action.
