Worth The Effort? (Sexual Harassment)

RESOLVEDD Case #20

Worth The Effort?

R - This case deals with a woman, Violet Spear, a junior marketing executive, who in my opinion is being harassed at work. She has repeatedly asked her co-worker, Theo Lucasey, not to make uncalled for remarks about her dress-attire, but to no-avail. So she pursues sexual harassment claims with her company, even though it appears that her chances of seceding in her sexual harassment case seem slime. Violet learns that 67% of women who report cases of sexual harassment end up losing their job in someway, and 9% of the cases of sexual harassment are not stopped.

E -The Principle of "Do No Harm" is a no brainier, I also believe that The Principle of Fidelity, The Principle of Lawfulness, ECI, "The Right to a Safe Workplace", and it is important to consider that "Do No Harm" does somewhat limit "Freedom of Expression"

L - (A) Violet sues Theo for harassment, and Theo feeling he has the company's decision backing him faces Violet head-on to a along costly legal battle with no winner only losers. (B) When Theo is suspended he thinks over his action and sees that his words were hurtful to Violet and does gives her a heart-felt apology, becomes a better man a friend to women everywhere.
