In addition to bringing an action under Title VII, harassees also may bring civil actions in state court-or, if permitted, federal court-based on state laws that also may be violated by the actions of the alleged harasser.

In addition, the harasser's action could form the basis of criminal prosecution for, at a minimum, criminal assault, battery, and rape.
