Sexual Harassment Creates a Hostile Work Environment
Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual contact or communication in the form of touching, jokes, requests for sexual favors and other ways. The harassment causes discomfort and distress to the victim and for those who witness the harassment.

Evidence for a favorable settlement or jury award is more powerful, and monetary damages often increase substantially.
