Post: Sexual harrassment

Posted by marcus on 6/25/03
Can anyone help? I was recently terminated for what my employer stated was poor performance. My immediate supervisor, who hired me, would take me to lunch every day, and when my car broke down, loaned me his car for several weeks, while my car was being repaired. He invited me over to his house on 3 different occasions to shoot pool. The first 2 times we drank a few beers and played pool, the 3rd time he started talking about his wife and eventually led to engaging questions in a form of sexual activity with me. I immediatedly told him I wasn't interested and left. I consulted with my wife, but was afraid to seek HR because he stated he was joking and that no one would believe me & that his boss and he use to be roommates once upon a time. I never told anyone about the incident, however my supervisor stopped going to lunch with me and stopped interacting with me. I've since been terminated, do I have any options, I feel used and ashamed.
