Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Minnesota

This is what happend to me, what would you do?

Ok, i walked into work one day and in the back room where the schedule is posted there was a little note with a fake penis on it, there was an arrow that said my actual size. i wrote a note with it and put it in the safe for the management to find. Three days later i got a phone call from a co worker saying he was gonna beat me up for what i did about the note. so i went down and talked to my employer about the sitiuation. He told me that it was just a joke and that i was being childish about it. in the middle of the next week i was fired. my employer never called me to tell me a fellow co worker called and told me the news. See i'm really stuck i don't know what to do about it. but i do have a picture of the note on my cell phone. please help me figure out what to do.

Re: This is what happend to me, what would you do?

The situation you described (re: penis) could be sexual harassment. I would of course have to get more details from you. Also, with the termination of employment, it seems a little odd that a co-worker would give you that information. There are several questions that I would ask you in regard to the firing. How long had you worked there? Did you have an employment contract? Had the sexual harassment happened before? and more. Feel free to call me to discuss in more detail. 763.788.1000.
