Los Angeles Sexual Harassment Attorney
Sexual harassment at work affects 86% of California women and 53% of men, yet most victims never report it.
If you’re facing unwelcome sexual conduct, inappropriate comments, or quid pro quo demands in your Los Angeles workplace, you have powerful legal rights under California law.
Employment attorney Daniel B. Henderson has exclusively practiced California employment law for over a decade, recovering more than $31 million for clients in sexual harassment at work cases.
Unlike federal protections, California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) covers ALL employers and provides unlimited damages with a generous 3-year filing deadline.
California law requires immediate employer action against sexual harassment and strict liability for supervisor misconduct.

What is Considered Sexual Harassment in California?
Sexual harassment is any unwanted sexual conduct that creates a hostile or abusive work environment. It is illegal under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and applies to all workplaces, no matter their size.
Despite these protections, harassment remains widespread; over 7,000 cases of workplace sexual harassment are reported annually to the EEOC, and many more go unreported.
There are two main types of sexual harassment:
Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment
When a supervisor demands sexual favors in exchange for job benefits like promotions or job security. This form of harassment often goes unchallenged because victims fear retaliation.
Hostile Work Environment
When repeated sexual behavior makes the workplace intimidating or offensive. 36% percent of women who reported harassment said it happened at work (source), with younger employees being most at risk.
Examples of Sexual Harassment:
- Verbal: Persistent sexual comments, inappropriate jokes, or repeated requests for dates.
- Physical: Unwanted touching, blocking someone’s path, or aggressive proximity.
- Non‑Verbal: Staring, suggestive gestures, sharing explicit images, or sending inappropriate messages.
Harassment is not occasional teasing or a one‑time awkward remark. It becomes illegal when severe, persistent, or affects your ability to work. If this is happening to you, there are legal steps you can take.
Your Legal Rights as a Victim
California law protects employees against sexual harassment in the workplace.
The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act make it illegal for employers to ignore or allow harassment.
These laws apply to companies with five or more employees and cover full-time, part-time, and temporary workers.
Reporting process through EEOC and California Civil Rights Department
If you have experienced harassment, you can file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The CRD handles state-level claims, while the EEOC enforces federal protections.
On average, 7,000 workplace sexual harassment claims are filed with the EEOC each year, but far more go unreported.
Victims in California typically have three years to file a complaint.
Employer responsibilities and required training programs
Employers are legally required to prevent harassment. California law mandates that businesses provide sexual harassment training within six months of hiring and repeat it every two years. They must also respond to complaints immediately.
When they fail, they can be held responsible. Settlements in these cases average $36,798, but severe cases can reach six or seven figures.
Daniel Henderson has successfully handled multiple claims, securing significant settlements for victims.
If your employer has ignored harassment, legal action may be your best option.
Don’t Wait and Tolerate Sexual Harassment at Work – Act Now
No one should have to endure sexual harassment at work. Yet thousands of employees in Los Angeles experience it every year, and most never report it. Fear of retaliation, job loss, or being ignored keeps many silent.
But the law is on your side.
Holding harassers and negligent employers accountable not only helps you—it protects others from facing the same abuse. Legal action forces companies to take harassment seriously, creating safer workplaces for everyone.
If you’ve experienced sexual harassment, don’t wait.
