Florida Sexual Harassment laws

[Bizzosss]

I am the only employee in my office and have been sexually harassed for 3 years. For years I have felt guilty because my boss does seem to have a good heart and helps me pay for my schooling and is very generous with gifts. I have always thought it was his way of compensating for not paying me enough for the many hats I wear at my job. I never thought anyone would believe me because it is just the two of us at our office. It is his word against mine. However, I am now at the end of my rope. I feel he should be held accountable for his actions. Can anyone tell me what the Florida laws are regarding sexual harassment in an office with one employee?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

 

[You Are Guilty]

It depends. What did the harassment actually consist of?

He says inappropriate things every day. He has grabbed my ass, grabbed my arms, caressed my face, asked me out, asked me to marry him, talks about poop, bowl movements... i haven't gone to the bathroom in 4 years without having to hear a comment about it when i go back to my desk. Etc. and it goes on and on.

Apparently those things were payoffs for keeping quiet about the harassment, or at least in the hopes that you would.
