Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, conduct of a sexual nature and requests for sexual favors. It must explicitly or implicitly affect a person's employment, unreasonably interfere with work or school performance or create an intimidating, hostile or offensive work or school environment.
Victims include those being harassed as well as anyone affected by the offensive conduct.
