- sharemywin 9y agohe U.S. Supreme Court has emphasized that sexual advances must be unwelcome to constitute unlawful sexual harassment.29 California regulations also specifically prohibit unwanted sexual advances.30 Courts have noted that a hostile work environment can occur even if the sex-related comments are not sexual advances directed at the employee.31 But the comments must still be unwelcome.
- sharemywin 9y agoNot all sexual touching in the workplace is sexual harassment, however. Federal cases have suggested that a single instance of breast-grabbing is not pervasive enough to constitute unlawful sexual harassment.18 It is not clear whether this case would have turned out the same way if it had been brought in a California court. But, the California Court of Appeal has held that two separate incidents where a supervisor rubbed his arm against the victim’s breast were insufficient to establish unlawful sexual harassment.19
