I'm trying to understand the intent of your reference. The scene you're referring to is when Sam finds out after he slept with the woman that she happened to be a prostitute. He didn't pay her as a prostitute. He met a nice woman and they spent the night together. Next morning he finds out she has a job that might get him in trouble. How is that relevant to your point? It seems like the opposite of your point.

It popped into my head due to the linguistic disconnect - Sam is saying that he accidentally did something, but Toby is clarifying that, no, he did it on purpose; he just might not have been aware of the circumstances and potential consequences. In other words, while it might be possible to "accidentally sexually harass" a person, there's much more involved than "did the harasser think they were harassing?" Rather, it matters whether the person in question deliberately chose to perform the actions that compose harassment. To use programming terminology, sexual harassment is an interface, not a class. One need not deliberately implement it if all the requirements are met.
