SEXUAL HARASSMENT SEXUAL MOLESTATION RAPE
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. Harassment does not have to be of a sexual nature, however, and can include offensive remarks about a person’s sex. For example, it is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general. Both victim and the harasser can be either a woman or a man, and the victim and harasser can be the same sex. 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). The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer.
sexual harassment through texting. I am an 18 yr old senior in high school, one of my friend's took my phone and sent an inappropriate text to a girl (16). Now the girl is trying to send me to court for the text saying it is sexual harassment, can this case go to court? Yes. You need your 'friend' to confess or you will pay the consequences.
Sexual harassment by text message I got a text message sent to me from my sister of a lewd act. I found it interesting and funny and sent it to some friends including a few from work who thought it might also be funny. The text was sent by me at home not while at work. One of the people I sent the text to showed a co-worker and the co-worker went to management about it. I got fired for it. I never personally showed anyone the text while at work. Can I get fired for sending a text to someone who then showed it to a third party who found it to be harassment? Yes. You may be discharged at any time for any reason. It doesn't have to be a good reason. Your only recourse might be the case whereby your employer discriminates (e.g. allows others who behave similarly to keep their jobs) because of your race, sex, age, etc.
According to the US Department of Justice, Sexual Assault is… ◦ any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape. What is “CONSENT”? ◦ Consent is positive cooperation involving an act of free will, absent of coercion, intimidation, force, or the threat of force. Consent is based on choice. It is active, not passive. Silence and passivity do not equal consent. Consent is possible only when there is equal power. Giving in because of fear is NOT consent. Giving in or going along with someone to gain approval or to avoid being hurt is NOT consent. Consent means two people (or more) deciding together to do the same thing, at the same time, in the same way, with each other.

You are to research a legal case, anywhere in the United States, discussing any sexual crime. You are to discuss the offense that was prosecuted as well as the details as to why the individual was prosecuted. In that, discuss any laws that may be specific to that state, that if in another state, the individual would not have been prosecuted. Was the individual found guilty? What was the penalty if found guilty? If the case was from more than 20 years ago, have the laws changed regarding the prosecuted offense?
