We're not talking about legally....what you think is inappropriate and out of line?....whether there is a law to protect you or not.
Have you ever been in this situation? What did you do?
When I was 15, a manager at a fast food resturant that I worked at pushed me into the cooler and thrusted his groin on me. He pinned me down and told me that he could do whatever he wanted and no one would hear me scream.
I went home and told my parents. My dad called the corporate office and threatened to sue them if this man wasn't fired johnny on the spot. Needless to say, they sent another manager to replace him. He was fired immediately. My parent's were PISSED! Rightfully so.

scandalous comments about someones sexual behavior is something that I think is quite common. I think I have experienced that aspect of sexual harassment myself. In general any unwanted and uninvited behavior regarding sex directed at someone would be sexual harassment.

I had a similar situation, I was working in a restaurant kitchen, when I was 16, the kitchen manager followed me into the walk in refrigerator, and tried to grab me... I had an armload of lettuce, and I thrust it into his arms, and said "thank you for carrying this for me"... then I went straight to the owner, and made a complaint... that manager vanished that night.
Sexual harassment, is any unwanted, and uninvited sexual advances, inuendo.. it can be physical or verbal.

Sexual harassment at work relates to all kinds of unwanted approaches and attempts to debase someone else by means of gestures, statements, representations or actions that are regarded as insulting, inappropriate or unwanted by the person or group of people at whom they are directed.
Sexual harassment at work includes actions such as:
1) Unwanted body contact
2) Unwanted invitations with an unambiguous purpose
3) Salacious comments about someone’s figure or private sexual behavior
4) Pursuit at work and outside work
5) Approaches linked to promised advantages or threatened disadvantages.

What everyone else said. It's basically unwanted sexual advances. Stalking, staring, etc. are basic signs of sexual harassment.

Clearly that is sexual harassment, and perhaps sexual assault. There are many forms of sexual harassment, and it all depends on the sensitivity of the people in your environment.

yes i would say that is sexual harrassment...and pretty close to rape if he had went any further with it. but there are many many many different kinds of sexual harrassment....the two main ones are verbal and physical. noo i havent been in this situation but i do know a lot of people who have. i think its very inappropriate, especially for adults to do it to teens and kids.

That is sexual harassment and could also be taken as a treat.
