Sexual harassment occurs to men and woman in the workplace at an overwhelming rate in the United States. There is no justification for the sexist and offensive behavior that these harassers place on innocent victims. If you have been the victim of sexual harassment, you should seek the representation of an accomplished California sexual harassment attorney at the Law Offices of Terry Davis. We have the knowledge and experience to successfully represent victims who have been subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace.

There are two different forms of sexual harassment, which are:

• Hostile Workplace Sexual Harassment
• An employee is subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace which causes a hostile environment. Some examples of hostile workplace sexual harassment include the frequent occurrence of lewd comments, sexist remarks, negative sexual stereotyping, and sexual insults.
• Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment
• This type of sexual harassment also occurs in a person's place of employment. In this situation an employer may offer an employee work benefits or job advancement in exchange for sexual favors. The employer may also use sex and sexual acts to intimidate the employee, stating or implying that if the employee does not submit to these acts, he or she will lose his or her job or be demoted.

Sexual harassers may be men or women, and may harass people of the same or opposite sex. Repeated and offensive unwanted sexual advancements, leering, gesturing, physical conduct, and verbal abuse are all considered sexual harassment and should not be tolerated. If you have been sexually harassed, you should make it clear to the harasser that the advances are unwelcome.
