My wife is a State Employee. She has been harassed by a male for the last 1.5 months and told him to stop and let her alone each time. 1st time he made a comment about having sex with him, 2nd time he directly asked her to have sex with him, this time made a comment about her mood toward him and said she would not be that way because he could satisfy her, without being to explicit. I told her to write him up, the last occurance 12/25 but she was afraid of retaliation from management explaining how the victims end up with the reprimand and how. I called her workplace and discussed this problem with them, the next day. My wife, not knowing I called got summoned to the office and asked by a interviewer soon as she entered, if she was afraid of something or felt threatened, without telling her what was going on. The interviewer finally told her I called in and why she was there and filed a incident report. Long story short, she was advised she could face a day suspension for late reporting, just the type of action she feared. There were two witnesses to the comment and they were called in. I do not know their story yet, but they know that the workplace WILL write them up for not reporting the night they heard the comment which leaves a person with a good idea what that outcome will be. What is she to do and how can a workplace constantly oppress people and write them up, even witnesses? With this, she knows the workplace could become hostile. She is now concerned about going into work because she is assigned to the area where she was harassed rather then working elsewhere as normal. This is a good idea of what she is up against. Any help, advise or direction is appreciated. Thank you
