I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. I suggest making an appointment with human resources or the manager to let them know that you are not taking this matter lightly. If there is no response, then you need to decide whether you want to continue working there or not. If you do not care to work there, then file a lawsuit against the employer and the person that harrassed you. You certainly have a claim. Hire a lawyer to take action.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
