California Laws and Sexual Abuse at Work

Workplace Sexual Abuse Lawyer

Sexual abuse in the workplace is a common occurrence, prompting laws against it at the federal and state governmental levels.  The intention of the laws is to provide a safe environment for workers free of sexual abuse and harassment.  Minors entering into the world of employment are often subjected to unwanted touching, verbal or visual harassment by other employees, supervisors or business owners.  A minor may fear for his or her job security and not report the abuse or in some cases submit to unwanted sexual activities. 

Our attorneys believe that sexual abuse victims should have their day in court and in seeking justice through the court systems.  Manly & Stewart is a leader in protection of rights of adults and young people against sexual abuse in the workplace and all other types of sexual abuse.  We are a highly reputable law firm and recognized internationally for our success in civil court and for helping hundreds of survivors of sexual abuse, including cases of those who were subject to the abuse in the workplace.  Contact a California sexual abuse attorney for information about sexual abuse at work and the legal options available.

Sex Offenders at Work Held Accountable

Employers and co-workers who abuse their positions of power and authority for sexual favors should be held accountable for crimes of sexual abuse in the workplace.  A quid pro quo demand against a worker is a terrible crime that no one should have to endure.  A minor may be convinced that the only way to advance in a career is to submit to sexual abuse.  A work environment should provide an opportunity for individuals to work toward their goals and achieve success in life and not have to deal with sexual advances or abuse.  An unwanted or abusive sexual encounter at work can have an adverse effect on an individual physically, mentally and emotionally.  It is reassuring to know there is a prominent team of dedicated attorneys working for the rights of those who have suffered sexual abuse at work.  

Manly & Stewart is foremost in taking a stance against the Catholic Church and has won millions of dollars in settlements for children abused by clergy while the Church decided to look the other way.  We can help with the legal aspects of a sexual abuse situation at work.  Make an appointment today for a consultation with a skilled and knowledgeable lawyer.
