Q: Can I sue my former employer for sexual assault and wage theft?
I worked front desk at a hotel for about two years it was a family owned hotel besides the family working there, I was the main employee I did everything there. The father gave the hotel to his 21 year old son but still would come around often. One day when it was just him and I he asked me if I wanted to be his sugar baby. Completely caught off guard and being afraid to say no I just said yes. He is known for getting into screaming arguments with everyone employee or customer he doesn’t care. He started coming alone a lot when I would be taking over. This gave me extreme anxiety. He would always ask me if I’m ready yet my response would be no not today. One day he called the hotel phone while I was working and told me to go into the party room. There are no cameras in that room. When I walk into the room I find him standing there alone. He grabs me and pulled to to him putting his mouth on mine kissing me and stuck his hand in my pants and put his fingers inside me. I pushed him off.
