How is a corporation responsible if one of it’s employees commits sexual harassment?
I mean, if your the victim of sexual harassment, why are you suing the corporation? How were they to know that the employee they hired was going to sexually harass you in the future?

The corporation can only get sued if the person that was harassed complained about it and nothing was done to prevent it from happening again. If the employer fails to take care of the problem, the harasser and the employer can get sued by the victim.
Usually a Corporation is held responsible only when they have done nothing to stop the harassment.
the corporation has a responsiblitly to provide a safe work place
the corp has a responsibility to supervise their employees
the corp has a responsiblity to do background checks on employees so that they dont have rapists working for them
get it?
I’m not sure of the answer, but I would think that they’d only be responsible if the victim, brought it to their attention, and they didn’t do anything about it; or if a supervisor or administrator observed the abuse and didn’t respond.
While you are on company time and company property they have the responsibility of ensuring you are safe and free from sexual harassment.
Corporations are responsible for the behavior and safety of their employees. It’s their responsibility to appropriately address these a sexual harassment case and inappropriate actions so that they do not happen again.
