Question: What can a minor do about sexual harassment?
Answer: Sexual harassment is defined as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature. Sometimes sexual harassment is discrimination, which is against the law. If the harassment remains words only, civil (not criminal) action can sometimes be taken. If words are replaced by physical actions, then it may become sexual assault. Sexual harassment is always inappropriate. The incident should be reported to an adult that you can trust.
