Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in New York
After one files a sexual harassment complaint against a co-worker, is the accuser protected against retaliation from the accused if the accused is not a supervisor? Or, does retaliation only apply to management and/or employeers? What if the accused made criminal allegations (after being accused of sexual harrasment) against the accuser to get the accuser fired?

Yes, the law protects you against retaliation in all forms. Make sure that you properly document (send a complaint via email or other internal methods for your organization. And, there are many U.S. lawyers that will give you a free consultation on this issue.
