Quid pro quo sexual harassment is when someone in the position of authority or a peer offers some type of benefit in exchange for sexual favors. For instance, if a teacher offers an A in exchange for sex, this is defined as quid pro quo sexual harassment. This behavior is prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1963 and can be reported to the EEOC. Victims also have the right to file a lawsuit against their harassers. In order to learn more about filing a lawsuit and whether or not it's an option for you, contact a sexual harassment attorney. Attorneys who work with the laws daily can help one understand their options, rights and responsibilities under sexual harassment law.
