Do you have a lawyer for this charge? You should get one now if you don't have one already. Tell your lawyer this information. He/she will best know how to use it as it relates to the particular facts of this case.

If the father keeps exposing the minor child to someone who has placed the child in danger, you should consider a modification action to address these issues.

You should contact an experienced employment attorney. A lot of time has passed since the mediation, and it may be too late to file a claim.

Ordinarily, if an EEOC mediation is unsuccessful, the EEOC will begin an investigation into your case.

The professor would not face any criminal charges for a consensual sexual act with a person over 16 years of age unless they are a high school teacher and the student is a student at the same school. Same rules do not apply to college aged individuals.

The court will most be interested in his relationship with the child. However, if he has a history of abusive behavior, that may be considered in determining how he exercises parenting time.

Q: What can I do?

My father murdered someone in 1979, received life in prison, yet he didn't serve full and I think he should have. He has done so much more after being released that I think he should be punished for. He molested my sister (not his child) and raped me when I was seven.

Contact the District Attorney of the COUNTY or COUNTIES where those crimes occurred. The law in Georgia allows some criminal charges to be filed a very long time after the incidents occurred, when it comes to crimes against children.

File a complaint with the police. This is a crime in most states. That should be enough to stop him, but you can always file a restraining order if necessary. Good luck!

This man should hire an attorney. A criminal defendant cannot use a polygraph (lie detector) to help get OUT of trouble, since the Georgia Legislature changed this important law over three decades ago. So, why would ANYONE trust a lie detector, to exonerate them?

If you complain about the harassment (follow your employee handbook on filing internal complaints) and nothing is done or you are retaliated against, certainly, move forward and file a charge with the EEOC.
