Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in New York
Sexually Harrassed By Nursing Home Resident & Co- Worker
I was groped and fondled by a resident while giving patient care at work. The incedent occurred in the presence of a co-worker who found amusment in the perdicament. When the resident became fresh with her she continued to be tickled. He raised his foot and fondled her between the legs. She laughed and then demonstrated what he was doing by touching me between the legs.I notified my employer and as a result she was counseled. According to our employee handbook ther is a clause which states that any business of the home cannot be given to the media or outside organization. I want justice, Can I seek legal representaion? Can I sue

Re: Sexually Harrassed By Nursing Home Resident & Co- Worker
You were wise to report the incident first. Did the employer follows its procedures for handling a sexual harassment claim? You may have a basis to sue, but these types of cases are very fact specific. You are welcome to call for a free phone consultation to discuss further.
