Depending on the size of the employer, a claim could be brought for sexual harassment. Regardless of size, the employer can be sued for sexual assault. I have handled several cases of this type and would be happy to discuss the matter further if you wish to contact me.

Secondly, there is indeed a civil case possible. There can be a state case filed (battery), and probably (I'd need more info) a federal case under Title VII.
