Ellijay, GA asked in Criminal Law, Employment Law, Federal Crimes and Sexual Harassment for Georgia

Q: i am in ga. i recently left my employment at a restaurant do to sexual assault. i did not press charges because did not

want to go through the courts. I just quit explained to owner due to sexual assault. I just asked her to ask her husband what he did. This was 2 weeks ago. Now i'm hearing that the owner did tell employees as to why i was leaving. This is an extremely personal matter that the owner should not have spoken to anyone about. Now even after my attempts to keep this a private matter and not choose to go to court it is all around me now-small town. My question is is it illegal for employer to give out that information to employees? And if so should i go ahead and file a sexual assault charge or claim against the owners for liable/defamation of character. I want this to go away so i can deal with it but now it has become a situation even after i left
