Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Massachusetts

I used to work at Starbucks. I quit December, 2013. I was sexually harassed prior to my resignation. I wrote a letter to my store manager, requesting not to work with him anymore. She blamed me, and bullied me into relenting and resolving the issue, not reprimanding the employee who harassed me (this included unwanted compliments, facebook messages which stated how big his penis was, I have since deleted these messages, and asking me numerous times to go out with him)

I was made to believe I was in the wrong, so I continued working there. I held resentment towards the environment and my coworkers. When I had finals, I had to work, and could not complete my finals, I complained on facebook, and my manager found out, and told the other employees, and the working environment became extremely hostile. I did a no-call-no-show, because I couldn't work at that store anymore. I called around, trying to work at other stores (you can jump around stores when you work at Starbucks) I worked at a Starbucks in Brookline for two days, and was supposed to work the following weekend. I went back the next weekend and my employee number was terminated. I was not informed of this. When I called the Starbucks Partner Support line, I told them everything I have stated in this statement, and NO ONE called me back, regarding the sexual harassment I've experience. Do I have a case?
