What most people don't understand about sexual harassment is that more than just the direct recipient of unwanted advances can be the victim. Those who witness the events can also be victims if they are offended or affected by the sexual harassment. There are two types of sexual harassment - quid pro quo, which is the offering of benefits in exchange for sexual favors, and hostile work environment, where an individual is affected so badly by sexual harassment that they find work a hostile and abusive place. A sexual harassment attorney can help the victim understand the intricacies of sexual harassment law, as well as the strength of their own case. It's a good idea to contact a sexual harassment attorney if you've been a victim of harassment.
