Fox News and Sexual Harassment

You may have heard recently that Fox News is being sued. Granted, Fox News is being sued for lots of things right now, but today on What The Hell Just Happened?!, Paul Edwards and Solution Center Advisor Moriah Ochoa are discussing Laura Luhn's sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox. This lawsuit was only able to be filed because the state of New York recently passed the Adult Survivors Act, which gives victims of sexual assault a 1-year window to sue for damages regardless of whether the statute of limitations has expired.

More and more laws like this are being passed, and an employer who knows (or should have known) about an incident of sexual misconduct and doesn't handle the situation appropriately can be sued just as easily as the employee who actually committed the offense, so your policies on investigating and handling sexual misconduct need to be up to snuff.
