> something as serious as sexual assault
This article is about "sexual harassment" which isn't illegal according to federal law. You are conflating it with "sexual assault" which is a crime.
- gpm 9y agoYou're right, I wrote the wrong thing, they are substantially different things and shouldn't be confused. It changes absolutely nothing about what I intended to say, sexual harassment is serious, it still goes through the court system, due process still applies, preventing it is good for the public.
- astura 9y agohttps://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm >It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person’s sex. Harassment can include “sexual harassment” or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature... Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).
