A friend of mine (male) was sexually harassed by his male co-employee during an office party. He doesn't know this guy. This happened on a Sunday. When he went back to work on Monday, the one who harassed him kept passing by his work station. We don't know why.
As per his boss' (and mine, too) advice, he went to the HR dept. The HR person said that his case was unusual and that they are kind of "stuck" -- in short, doesn't know what to do. This really upsets us because my friend is the one who needs some kind of justice and protection from the harasser (if there is such a word) but the company can't even protect him just because the case is UNUSUAL.
Now, the harasser filed a counter-affidavit saying that it was my male friend who harassed him! The nerve!
xcess: My male friend is not gay but he is usually mistaken as such because he is rather "effeminate".
Please help. I'll add details if necessary. No nonsense answers pls.
