Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

Sexual harrassment

I work for a very large medical insurance company. During my first couple months working there i was sexually harrassed by my female co-worker. She would make sexual comments and would touch me without permission. I would ask her to stop, i wanted to tell my manager but i noticed that my manager knew about this problem before i started working there. I did not feel comfortable approaching management because i felt they would not advocate for me. I gave them my two week notice. I don't want this to continue, what can i do?

Re: Sexual harrassment

You may have a claim for constructive termination if a reasonable person in your position would resign. However, you would need very good evidence to support your claim that you did not believe reporting it would have stopped the harrassment. A claim would have to be filed with the DFEH and EEOC. Call me directly at 1.619.222.3504.

If you can prove it through witnesses or other admissible evidence, you can sue. If you're serious about it, and have any proof, feel free to contact me to discuss the facts and your rights.
