Don't project negative, criminal human behavior on animals. Just because they are more instinct-driven than humans doesn't mean that sexual harassment is anything like them. | |
| Mar 16, 2017 at 14:13 | comment | added | Eph | @Magisch Do you have any references for your assertion? That has not been my my experience, but I don't have any significant data. | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 9:12 | comment | added | user44634 | @Fernando OK I found she said "I am terrified of this man" but she did not say she was in fear of violence on that occasion. Also I have checked California penal code and even if she was that does not seem to be enough for the conduct to be criminal without at least a threat or an attempt at violence. And even in those jurisdictions where fear is enough (e.g. England) the conduct must be sufficient to cause an ordinary person to be afraid - it is not enough that she was afraid if an average person would not have been. Is any of what I said correct? I checked but Law is hard | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 9:02 | comment | added | user44634 | @Fernando, downvoted because it is legal advice given by someone who is not qualified, and which appears to be wrong. | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 8:12 | comment | added | Magisch | Getting police involved is an excellent way to never get a job in your industry again. Sucks that it is that way, but employers (especially in startups) will blackball you for such things, most likely. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 21:30 | comment | added | user30031 | Indeed, this is assault in most U.S. jurisdictions. OP's specific case is important, but state specific law isn't something this site is good at, so this general information is better. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 20:25 | comment | added | SpongeBob | @Ben Yes, she said. Why people downvoted this? | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 19:55 | comment | added | user44634 | In other words, that's not California law. Also, she did not say she was in fear of imminent violence, said she thought he was presumptuous, not threatening. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 19:45 | comment | added | gnasher729 | The exact names are different, but it is a punishable crime if you convince a judge that you were in justified fear of violence. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 19:42 | comment | added | user44634 | Is that California law? | |
