Sexual Harassment Case

Sexual Harassment Case

Sometimes women are reluctant to bring a sexual harassment case against an employer for fear of the repercussions. Losing their jobs is generally a major consideration, especially in today’s tight job market.
Such was the case of a woman who worked as the housekeeper and personal assistant of the Chairman of Waffle House, Joe Rogers, according to a NY Daily News article. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant had demanded she perform sexual acts to keep her job. As a single mother, she could not stand to lose her job because comparable employment was not available. Consequently, she endured the harassment from 2003 to 2012. When her son obtained a full college scholarship during the summer of 2012, she quit her job and filed a police report that disclosed the harassment. The woman’s job had no connection with Waffle House because she was employed personally by Rogers.
