Sexual Harassment
What is Sexual Harassment?
In California, sexual harassment in the workplace includes a range of unwelcome behaviors like inappropriate comments, physical contact, or suggestive gestures.

At Frontier Law Center, our Los Angeles sexual harassment lawyers can help you prove that there was unethical behavior and build a case to protect yourself and other employees from this kind of treatment.

What is Sexual Harassment?
Don’t Feel Trapped in Your Workplace
Feeling safe and respected at work is your right. If you’re facing unwelcome comments, inappropriate physical contact, or any form of gender-based harassment, it’s time to take control. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to endure this.
Real-Life Examples Show You’re Not Alone
- Ongoing Workplace Bullying: Just like the female officer who stood up against years of harassment from her colleagues, you too can fight back.
- Dealing with Inappropriate Behavior: Remember the case where an employee faced unwanted physical contact? They took a stand, and so can you.
- Persistent Unwanted Attention: If your work environment feels hostile due to unwelcome gestures or comments, like the worker who faced persistent harassment from their boss, know that there’s a way out.
- Harassment Based on Gender: You deserve to work without fear, just like the employee who faced harsh treatment based on their gender.
- Unwanted touching (such as back rubs)
- Making sexual advances
- Making sexual remarks about an individual
- Discussing sexual topics
- Asking sexual questions about a person’s sex life
- Sending crude or sexual photos without one’s consent.
- Leaving unwanted gifts that involve a sexual nature.
- Spreading sexual rumors
What To Do If You Experienced Sexual Harassment
Too often, people who are subjected to harassment in the workplace feel helpless. The environment might be so destructive that it induces anxiety, makes you physically ill, and fills you with a sense of dread about going to work in the morning. Employees who fear losing their jobs or facing other penalties frequently feel they have no choice but to tolerate harassment.
But the law can protect you, only if you act. Establishing a sexual harassment claim requires not just a showing of harassment but also that the employer has been allowed reasonable time to correct the situation and failed to do so.
Here are some steps you should take if you are a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace:
- Report the harassment to your supervisor and/or HR. Certain types of harassment claims require that you follow internal procedures and that you submit a complaint to an agency prior to pursuing a civil case. Often, agency filings have much tighter deadlines than lawsuits.
- Document the harassment. Keep detailed notes of the incidents, the dates they occurred, the individual(s) involved, and any correspondence that took place through email or in person. The more evidence you have, the better it is for your case.
- Consult an attorney. If the harassment continues and your employer fails to act, talk to an attorney to learn more about taking legal action against your employer for failing to protect you.
