> sexual harassment should be a 'go straight to police' offence, not a hr reprimand. Police requires evidence and it's often much harder to prove in criminal court than in civil cases - just look at the different OJ Simpson trials. When you walk to the HR office you don't need any evidence at all and the judge is sometimes a 25 year old HR person fresh from university. That's a much lower bar to pass than going to the police and meeting a judge. Sexual harassment in the workplace is so much more than what is strictly illegal. It may not be possible to make it illegal to look at someone in the wrong way, but there's no law against that being written to your HR file and having an impact on your future career.
