"Touchy Tom"
Tom is a College employee. His department has a new student assistant, Suzi. Tom shows interest in her, but Suzi doesn't seem interested. One evening when Tom is working late on a presentation for the Trustees, Suzi stops by after an evening class to pick up some papers she left at her desk. As she walks by, he stands up and grabs her, tries to kiss her, and when she protests and attempts to get away, he fondles her breast and says, "Come on, you know you want me." Suzi escapes his grasp, runs away, and is so upset that she never returns to work in the department.
Is this an example of hostile work environment sexual harassment?
