Re: Lawyer: Cain accuser wants to tell her side of story
You give that impression Oscar, especially in the face of multiple explanations of what constitutes sexual harassment, which makes me wonder why is it so hard for you to understand. Why do you think it is a defensible position to say, he only did it once. If you think she has to wait for him to do it again, you are suggesting she has to tolerate it until then, or forever if he doesn't. You have set that threshold.
then he is guilty of creating a hostile work environment....NOT sexual harassment. sexual harassment is a very specific charge. I don't see why this is so hard to understand. I think you are under the misimpression that I am excusing such behavior. I am not, it just isn't harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
