Under New York sexual harassment law, it is unlawful to harass an individual based on their sex. Unwelcome sexual advances, touching, sexual jokes, sexual innuendo and any other sexual conduct that creates a hostile work environment is unlawful. Nowadays, sexual harassment can be contained in electronic form and can include sexually offensive statements in an e-mail, instant message, blackberry message, Facebook, Twitter or MySpace posting. We have recently handled just such cases.
