It is illegal to retaliate against an employee for reporting sexual harassment. If you believe that this is what happened to you, you may have a legal claim or cause of action for illegal retaliation, as well as a potential claim for the harassment itself. You should meet with an employment law attorney--many provide a free initial consultation to evaluate a case--to review the situation and decide on the appropriate response; you could potentially file a lawsuit and/or file a complaint with the department of labor.
