Denver Sexual Harassment Attorney
In short, sexual harassment is any unwelcome sexual activity by a co-worker or supervisor that creates a hostile work environment. Employers are obligated to vigorously enforce sexual harassment laws. Employees have every right to expect and demand the same type of work place conduct that their employers would want for their own mothers and daughters.
Claims of sexual harassment can also be brought against schools on behalf of students who have been sexually harassed if the student can prove the school reacted to complaints with "deliberate indifference."
