Sexual harassment is a serious matter and viable means to file a claim or employment lawsuit against the company or employer who engaged in the act. Some examples of sexual harassment can include:

• The use of physical force to make a person engage in a sexual act against their will.
• When an employer uses their status to force an employee to take part in a sexual act.
• An employer who threatens to fire an employee unless they engage in sexual relations.
• Hand touches, inappropriate comments or gestures.

If you feel your employer has sexually harassed you or anyone else and you would like to file a complaint, you can do so through the EEOC (U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). The contact information for the EEOC in Washington is:
