Sexual Harassment
Investigations
Often in the event of sexual harassment, those involved don't know what to do
or how to proceed in order to resolve the issue whether they are the victim,
the accused or other party like an employer. Most victims turn to legal
avenues to seek justice or compensation. Employers, often inexperienced in
dealing with this matter, may just want it all to go away. The accused, of
course, wants to be found innocent and often seeks legal defense.
Something to remember if you choose the legal avenue is that attorneys are NOT
detectives. There are some hard questions to be asked. Is the accused really
guilty? Is the victim really a victim? If this was in the work place, was the
employer negligent? What if the employer is the accused? There are so many
sides to deal with, so many prejudices to overcome, but only one truth to
find. Not every accused is innocent, but not every victim is really a victim
either.
With slang so prevalent in both our verbal and non-verbal communication these
days, what we say or write can so often be taken the wrong way. So a victim
may believe they were harassed when they really weren't but they believe they
were and therefore are being truthful, mistaken, but truthful. Unfortunately,
this also makes a good defense for someone who is really harassing someone
else, too. Doesn't it? Then there are those so called "victims" who would lie
in order to receive some kind of settlement. This is where we come in. No
matter which side you are on, a thorough investigation by a professional can
get through to the real truth and help you get the justice you deserve.
