Consensual or not, have sex with an underling while you are in upper management and you will be guilty of sexual harassment in any court, under current standards.

It may not be fair, or right, but that is the way it is.

Some one needs to take your to court and find out what you know about someone having sex. So tell everyone what are the facts you are hiding.

No, consensual sex with upper management will not always be considered sexual harassment in a court of law. To be “harassing” it has to be “unwanted.” That is part of the definition. It’s hard to prove that an encounter with a subordinate was “wanted” when that person is arguing it was “unwanted”, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible or untrue.
