In order to file sexual harassment lawsuit, an individual should first inform the harasser that the behavior of a sexual nature is unwelcome. If the harasser continues the sexual harassment, then the person should document in detail the occurrence of each incident. Along with the documentation, it should include the occurrence of negative actions in response to refusals to submit to sexual favors or demands. All proper avenues should be taken when filing a complaint within the school or workplace. Documentation of retaliation is needed in order to show that it took place, along with any notes of meetings and conferences in response to the harassment. A legal advocate is the person that should be consulted with early on in order to make sure no mistakes are made. If no remedy is made and things get worse, then there are a variety of other legal options. Before filing a lawsuit a person must usually file with the EEOC.
