Sexual assault is a form of sexual violence that involves unwanted sexual contact. It can range from non-consensual touching to rape and can happen in the workplace. Sexual assault is an illegal violation of your rights. If you’ve been sexually assaulted in the workplace, you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Depending on your situation, an attorney may assist you to:
- Document the incident: Write down the details of what happened, including dates, times, locations, and any witnesses present.
- Report the assault: It may be appropriate to notify your employer, the police or other authorities about your matter.
- Seek medical attention: You may need medical attention to address any injuries and access support services if needed.
- File legal claims: You might have legal recourse against the perpetrator. Consulting with a knowledgeable attorney can help you understand your rights and options.
Sexual assault in the workplace is a serious issue. Each situation is unique, and you should contact an attorney as soon as possible to help understand your rights, options and claims.

Keep in mind that it is best, if possible, to establish a relationship with an attorney before a workplace issue turns into a full-blown crisis
