What a nightmare for him and his family. She should go to prison for a long time.
Someone I knew very well, shared an office with a woman. He (one time) made a slightly off-color joke.
She smiled and said nothing.
Later she filed a sexual harassment complaint.
Supervisor investigated and found the situation did not meet requirements to be sexual harassment.
Standards were:
.1. at time of incident, victim must make indication of displeasure, communicating objection to other party.
Smiling and saying nothing to other party was not sufficient grounds.
Supervisor tried, without success, to get the woman to understand that one must indicate objection/displeasure to “harasser”. Woman later left the Company. The male employee involved refused to ever again share an office with a female.
BTW, woman was from a liberal University in a liberal city, in a liberal State.
It’s a nightmare for her and her family too.
