Understanding Sexual Harassment, Assault, and Abuse
While there may be some overlap, these terms carry distinctive meanings. Sexual harassment pertains to unwanted sexual conduct within a workplace, explicitly or implicitly tied to employment conditions. It creates a hostile work environment or impacts employment-related decisions.
Sexual assault is not restricted by employment status; it can occur inside or outside the workplace. On the other hand, sexual abuse often involves repeated sexual crimes, such as child molestation, encompassing sexual assault and harassment.
If you’ve experienced sexual assault, abuse, or harassment, reach out to our skilled legal team at San Fernando Law Firm. Our commitment is to provide understanding and compassionate legal representation, ensuring your rights are fiercely protected.
