Can I sue a business for sexual harassment?
I am a weekly donor at a plasma donation center. One of the medical screeners is always making sexual advances and obscene comments to me when we are alone in the screening room. How should I move forward with this? Also, I can get audio of him saying these things.

If you are being sexually harassed by an employee of a business after you have advised him to cease, you can make a complaint with the employer about it. If you have not been physically harmed, it is best to report the incidents to the employer and cease going to this plasma donation center.
If you have been physically harmed (touched) you should consider consulting with a personal injury attorney over what happened and decide the best course to follow and if a lawsuit is warranted under the circumstances. If you want to wear a wire to get an audio of the inappropriate comments, you can do so.
If you still wish to continue donating at the plasma center, you should advise the employer of the problems you have encountered with the certain employee and request that you have no further contact with him when you show up in the future to make your donation.
Good luck.
