In my opinion, you should consider filing a lawsuit for sexual harrassment. You have to carefully watch the statute of limitations so that your action will not be barred by time requirements. Of course, it will be necessary to prove that you were fired because you refused the physical advances of the owner. These cases are very involved and consulting an attorney is the best rule of thumb.
