Sexual harassment???

Recently my My roomate and I have started working for my lanlord with random projects on his other homes. My roomate recently informed me that he has been hitting on her and making her feel very uncomfortable. For instance saying very crude things and talking about unmentiable acts for which he would like to do with her and of which he would like her to do to him. Now he is a married man, and she has turned him down and said No many many times. However he continues to persue her. We love our house very much and do not wish to move and unfotuanatly need the money, So I was wondering if there were any suggestions on how to resolve this issue without moving, and if it is considered Sexual harrassment. One more thing, He oftan tries to separate us so that he can be alone with her, and has now resorted to stopping by our home to see what we are up to. which is really creepy. So please if you have any legal advice or any soulotions please reply I really do not know what to do.
Thank you

Is your roommate your girlfriend? If not, let her handle it. If she is, don't leave her alone with him. Tell him that you will tell his wife if he doesn't stop the sexual harassment.; If he kicks you out, you have legal grounds for a suit.

sounds to me like there is sexual harrasment going on, and on top of that you might have something since you rent from him. Find an attorney that works in this plus renters info too! You might not have to worry about extra money if there is something out there about him doing this and you rent from him. laws and boundries are being crossed. Good Luck

your roommate should first confront him and tell him how unconfortable she is. Then, technically, i think it is considered sexual harassment.

yeah, that's sexual harassment. I would turn him in and get a restraining order if he just shows up randomly all the time. you may love your house, but do you have peace of mind?

Ask your attorney. Sounds like SH to me. Your attorney should be able to tell you how to handle it.

how about you tel his wife to aks him to stop,,,,that will solve it

okay, as i can see, you two need him; for his job that is. what i think you two need to do is appear as professional as possible. this will include making is clear to him, in a polite way, that you're not interested in his sexual fantacies and if he needs to he can "booty call". and yes, it is sexual harassment for him to be doing that. be firm on your grounds and tell him off whenever he starts talking trash like that. also try abruptly changing the subject to a serious matter when he talks trash. if it hits the fan and you see that you guys really gotta leave, turn his world upside down for him by informing authorities (after tape recording him) and his wife before leaving.

To tell you the truth I don't know what to tell you to do. What I will say is that I'm a man who has been sexually harassed by women superivisors on the job. I did not confront the problem, but rather just laughed at their attempts to seduce me. The whole ordeal went on for nearly 3 years escalating into verbal threats against me. In the end these 2 women who harassed me became vengeful toward me since I would not bend to their demands to hit the bars and sleep with them. Donna & Michelle eventually destroyed my career of 13 years as a State of Illinois government employee even though I was darn good at my job. What was a laughing matter to me turned out to become a life-changing ordeal, and not for the better. In retrospect I should have been much more aggressive in stopping their game, even if that meant destroying something in their lives. From a 10th-inning perspective I easily could have turned the tables on these 2 crude players, and will now live with the regret that I did not. When these personality types do not get what they want, at least in my case, they W I L L ! retaliate. I personally was in a position to strike back and "get" them before they got me. That may not apply in your case, and may even make matters worse for the both of you. For me waiting and expecting the problem to just one day disappear was the wrong thing to do. You might not believe how treacherous these people can be. I do now. I'd get several opinions on this quickly, including those from a nearby college/university, state's attorney, police, counselor or any other source you might trust and see what they say. From that I'd make my move. But quite frankly, I know you love your house and need the $, but aren't there other houses out there and other ways to make money? Personally, I'd be looking to get the hell out of there and if I could leverage his paying the moving bills due to his assinine ways I'd sure as the world do it. He has caused a situation to occur that results in your inconvenience in having to move and find new employment. You can bet your bottom $ I'd want him to pay for his mistakes. Oh, and by the way, Diasonic makes a great little digital voice recorder/MP3 player that can record person to person as well as landline and cell phone conversations quite well. But if you go that route, and I'm not necessarily advising you do, make sure you toy around with the thing and get to know how to work it before employing its use against him, as it can be a bit tricky to use. From that you could burn a CD. I bet his wife would love that. Plus, a judge might like it too, if you decided to sue the jerk for damages.
