Advocates for Minors Subjected to Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment can happen to anyone. Minors and young adults entering the workforce for the first time are particularly vulnerable to both physical and verbal harassment. Older co-workers or supervisors may use intimidation not only to harass or take advantage of a young worker, but also to prevent the victim from speaking out against them.
If you are a minor or young adult who has been the victim of sexual harassment — or you are the parent of a victimized worker — our lawyers are here for you. The attorneys of the Sexual Harassment Law Group stand up for victims of workplace harassment throughout Northern California. We have the experience to see that the rights of younger employees are observed and that the offending co-worker or manager is held accountable.
Sexual harassment comes in many forms, and all of them are a violation of your rights:
- Lewd comments about your body or references to sexual acts
- Sexually charged threats of violence
- Unwanted sexual advances or sexual coercion
- Quid pro quo (asking for sex or sexual favors in exchange a raise or other preferential treatment)
- Demands for sex linked to threats of termination
- Inappropriate touching, fondling or hugging
- Obscene gestures or pictures in the workplace
- Sexually suggestive or explicit e-mails or text messages
- Retaliation for reporting a harassment claim
- Constructive termination (sexual harassment leading to voluntary termination)
You do not have to put up with any of these behaviors. We can make it stop and we can go after the harasser and the employer to make them pay for the abuse. You should not feel guilty for reporting sexual harassment, or think that somehow you brought it on yourself. An older co-worker or manager has taken advantage of you because they thought they could get away with it. Let us help.
The Sexual Harassment Law Group has represented many teenagers and young adults in your situation. We provide you with a free consultation to explain your rights and your legal options.
