Workplace Sexual Assault

Workplace Sexual Assault Texas involves non-consensual sexual contact or behavior tied to someone’s job. It can include forced or unwanted touching, groping, coerced sexual acts, or any sexual contact without clear and voluntary consent. This conduct may come from a supervisor, coworker, contractor, client, or customer and can happen at the job site, during work travel, or at work events.

Because sexual assault is so serious, even a single incident can drastically affect safety, mental health, and the ability to keep working. Federal and Texas employment laws may treat sexual assault as unlawful discrimination when it changes the terms and conditions of employment or creates an abusive work environment. These laws also prohibit retaliation, meaning an employer may not punish someone for reporting sexual assault, cooperating in an investigation, or filing a charge.

When sexual assault happens at work, one of our experienced sexual assault lawyers can explain how these laws apply to your circumstances and what options you have before making a formal report. We can review what happened, help preserve evidence such as messages and emails, and identify who may be responsible under federal and Texas workplace sexual assault law. One of our attorneys can also discuss the risks and benefits of reporting to human resources, especially when the person responsible has power over your schedule, pay, or position, and prepare written complaints or agency filings that describe what occurred and how it affected you.
