What Is Sexual Bribery?
Sexual bribery is where a superior uses a promotion or a raise as an incentive for sexual contact and favors. To put it simply, it is an abuse of power where your employer tries to use you for everything they can. The violation that sexual bribery represents is major and you cannot and should not accept such a situation.
How Is Sexual Bribery A Form Of Sexual Harassment?
Sexual bribery is a form of quid quo pro sexual harassment. While quid pro quo sexual harassment covers a much larger grouping of activities, sexual bribery is specific and insidious. You must act and make it known that you are not to be used or threatened. You deserve to have your voice heard and your rights and body respected.
What Are Examples Of Sexual Bribery In The Workplace?
Sexual bribery is a known problem in many industries, especially in the entertainment industry. Much of the MeToo movement could be said to be addressing this exact type of harassment. Most of the examples of sexual bribery include sexual requests in exchange for such accommodations as:
- A better working schedule
- A promotion or a salary increase
- Granting leave requests
- Access to new opportunities
- Performance reviews and recommendation letters
And to be clear, both women and men can be victims of this harassment. Our work includes holding the harasser and the company that supports and enables them accountable for their actions.
What Legally Constitutes Sexual Bribery In New York City?
Under the human rights law in New York City, any interaction where someone with more power than you demands sexual favors as a condition for advancement constitutes sexual bribery. We mentioned many scenarios of this above, but if you’re not sure, you can talk to us for a free consultation.
What Evidence Is Needed To Prove Sexual Bribery?
The most compelling evidence is often such things as:
- Emails
- Text messages
- Voicemails
- Witnesses
Additionally, when someone attempts to extort you for sexual contact in the workplace, it’s rarely a first offense. Often, there’s been a pattern of behavior, and if that’s the case, you can absolutely use that evidence.
What Reporting Options Are Available?
Your first option is to pursue this with HR. Often, that’s not enough, and there are multiple legal avenues we can help you pursue. We’ll explain everything you need to know in our free consultation.
