Many person have had this happen and even if innocent it seems to cost them their jobs. Has this happened to you? What did you?Have been a victum of a false sexual harrassment charge?
First, any company would be obligated to conduct a thorough and fair investigation before terminating you for sexual harassment. Unfortunately, many of these cases end up being a ';she said'; versus ';he said'; situation. Since the damages from a female alleging harassment can be more than disciplining or terminating a male employee (especially a white male under 40) companies may err on the side of the female. So, it you are the person charged, make your case. Do you have witnesses? Can you prove that you didn't engage in harassing behavior? Will others vouch for your character? Has the female alleging the harassment have a history of making false allegations? You can see H.R. and ask to make a counter claim if you feel confident you are completely innocent.Have been a victum of a false sexual harrassment charge?
It has never happened to me, but it happened to a man I knew. A group of women basically encouraged and initiated the ';sexual harassment'; then all went to Human Resources and confirmed his hand in it. He was dismissed - and what was worse was that his wife was a notch up the ladder than him and had to suffer through this situation and keep her job...
Why are you asking that? Did it happen to you?
Sue for defemation of character and lost wages.

I currently have this situation looming over me where a very close friend was told that I had made advanced to all student nurses that came to our ward and she shouldn't trust me - in fact should make a formal harrassment claim. She has done this!!! I am an employee of the NHS in England and it's making my working day impossible with a group of gossiping female nurses. What can I do??
