Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Connecticut

Sexual Harassment Question in ct

I am writing in hopes that we can receive some advice. My fianc� of 5 years was recently fired from a security firm that he worked for approximately 3 years. He was fired because of Sexual Harassment. A co-worker claimed that he brushed up against her obtaining access to the front desk of a building which they both secured. She made other claims that he asked her out and made comments suggesting he made advances.

My fianc� was put on suspension on 8/18 and after their investigation he was fired on 8/29. He met with HR and informed them that the charges were false. While they admitted that they could not prove the charges were true, they reviewed tape and saw that there were occasions where he needed to squeeze by her to gain access to the desk. He was told that he would be fired for this reason.

The question he has is, whether or not this claim will follow him as he pursues other employment and also whether or not he can seek any remedy for what he feels is wrongful termination. He has never had any issues in the past and feels that his reputation as a good employee has now been permanently tarnished.

This should not pursue your husband through his career. There are specific questions that employers ask previous job experiences that limit former employees abilities to damage you.
