Unfortunately the laws are such that if the victim makes a mistake and files in the wrong place, or lets too much time go by, or is not able to properly write up a complaint, she can lose her case without there even being a trial. It is important that she have an attorney to guide her. Now, something should be said for the alleged harasser. Few men are harassers. Not all persons accused of harassment are guilty.
Some women are very prudish and sensitive.
The intelligent man, of course, is very gentlemanly around them. Sometimes woman think that innocent things, such as an invitation for a date, without more, are sexual harassment. Sometimes things are misconstrued and misinterpreted. Sometimes, the man and the woman have completely different perspectives on the significance of particular words and acts. A man accused of sexual harassment also needs an attorney to protect his interests.
