The "one week to respond" is baloney---but hard to tell if they are saying you have one week to do something you are obligated to do under the contract....different.

I have emails and text messages

You need to bill him for the work. Anyone can say anything. If you disagree I would simply respond "I disagree with your statements. Please pay the amount agreed on."
Keep a copy of all correspondence. If by email, download and print each item.
These calls and texts also being sent to my loved ones, saying horrible and awful things about me. Also trying to extort money and property from my family, specifically my mother. I know who it is but cannot prove it without the subpoena from the app Text Free. This person is also sharing personal,... Read more »

I am sure that the State of Pennsylvania has a state agency that investigates the same laws that the EEOC does, and will accept your complaints of sexual harassment and retaliation for speaking out. I suggest you should Google "sexual harassment in Pennsylvania" and see what comes up. You... Read more »
I was in a work meeting with 3 "executive leaders" and myself. At the very start of the meeting the top lead asked how my wife was. I answered that she was good and he immediately said "I still haven't met her, I don't believe you have a wife, you probably have a 300 pound... Read more »

Sounds like you need another company. It's an interesting question whether or not it's sexual harassment if they merely assume something (that isn't true). For instance may a person who is not of color be "racially harassed " when they aren't the protected group? No.... Read more »

PA has no state law on cyber stalking. therefore federal anti cyber stalking law is applied here. i think this is cyber stalking under that act.

Clearly a violation of many statutes not the least of which are Dept of Labor Wage & Hour and Work Condition Statutes.
Talk to an attorney who handles employment questions. If you need names give me a call.

I think I speak for all the participating attorneys here when I say that MUCH more information is needed from you before any attorney can even begin to offer any helpful advice.
Can you give us a lot more facts to describe your situation? Thanks in advance.

Dating? Yes, but at that age the age difference is significant, can lead to power imbalance and abuses. Bad?Yes. Illegal? No.
My uncle is in jail for raping a 10 year-old girl but there was evidence that proves he can not get an erection wothout medicine whivh he was not taking but he pleaded guilty but retracted it.

How did he retract it? If you plead guilty, you can file a motion to withdraw the guilty plea prior to sentencing. If you do not file it prior to sentencing, you can file a motion to withdraw the guilty plea for ten days after the sentencing hearing. If you do not do that, you would have a... Read more »
She's with another person and they have children together and I fear the repercussions on my son because she claims she's pregnant to him but has not shown proof of pregnancy and claims she's around 4 weeks. Is there something I can do as a parent?

He's at the age he's past the age of consent but possible she could be charged with corruption of a minor. As far as the pregnancy, a blood test would be in order if she conceives.
Most important thing right now is to speak with a counselor about how to handle it--you don't... Read more »

Date with no intimate contact, yes. Will the parents agree? Unlikely. You are significantly older and may want to consider your motives.
