Last month Ashley Judd’s sexual harassment claim against Harvey Weinstein was dismissed by a California judge who said that she did not make her case for sexual harassment under the civil code that was in place at the time she filed her claim. The law was amended in September of 2018 and her claim may now be within the scope of the statute as amended, but the judge said he could not apply that amendment retroactively. While this may seem unfair, only the sexual harassment claim was thrown out and Ashley Judd may continue to pursue the other claims she has filed against him including defamation.
Los Angeles sexual harassment attorneys know that making a sexual harassment claim may be a scary prospect, but sexual harassment claims are being given more respect and victims are finally being believed and respected more than at any point in the past. Thanks in part to the #metoo movement and also to the culture shift in feeling compassion and empathy for sexual harassment and sexual assault survivors, survivors are feeling empowered and are more often seeking legal remedies for what they have been through.
Other prohibited conduct related to sexual harassment in the workplace includes retaliation and third-party sexual harassment.
