Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most federal courts to date have ruled that victims of sexual harassment seeking recovery under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 cannot sue the person who actually committed the harassment.The victim might be able to sue the wrongdoer under a state statute or by using a tort claim such as assault,but under Title VII,personal liability appears not to be available.The victim,therefore,can seek damages from the employer as the responsible party.
