Sexual Molestation, Intimidation and Humiliation.Some of these events constitute and assault in Law also. If you wish to proceed along this route, do so, but be warned, there can be a problem with evidence in these cases. Follow our guidelines and get legal advice and support as soon as you can. Most advisors would say - go with it, record your claim of assault with the police. Record all the details relating to the incident and get witnesses names, contact numbers and addresses, where you can. If it is in a work situation there are other procedures and processes you can follow. If it is the boss, or a colleague, there are some pretty powerful actions that you can take. Make sure, whatever the situation, you inform someone in authority at that location, be it work, a pub, club, or even art gallery, police station, or museum. Then tell someone in authority in the community and at least one good friend. Have a good 'calm and calculating' friend with you at each stage in the process and get legal representation if you can. Persist with your action and use every legal avenue. Record all further attempts at humiliation and intimidation that follow on from this. Record and Report these activities in as fine detail as you can and then summarise each of the incidents, factors and consequences for yourself. This will serve a good purpose in helping you feel better and more empowered. It is therapeutic to do it. It also means that you have laid down good evidence for when the authorities eventually do take it seriously. If they don't it may make a good basis for a newspaper report.  This page is in the stage of preparation.
