What must I prove to prevail in a cause of action for “Quid Pro Quo” sexual harassment?
A. The law provides that you may recover damages from your employer once you have proved that you were deprived of a job benefit because you refused to comply with your supervisor’s sexual demands. But before you can recover from your employer, you must demonstrate that the harasser is someone with authority who can affect your employment opportunities. You may also have to prove that the sexual conduct was unwelcome.
