Is it sexual harassment if something is said outside the work place?
This woman was fired two days ago and is now claiming I harassed her 6 months earlier. This was not at work, it was in her car. Every time I drove home with her, she would start talking about sex with her husband, when I talked about my wife and I, she claims to have it on tape and is now going to sue me for sexual harassment. Is this fair? She is the one who started all the sexual conversations. She was finally let go because she missed over 200 hours of work in 11 months. Could I also get her for blackmail? She has been to 2 harassment seminars while working here, and she could have spoke up at any time. She never did until she was fired. Please help me.

Tell her to take her best shot! You are in no trouble!

It is sexual harassement. However, I doubt it is LEGALLY sexual harassment. It sounds like it might be reverse harassement and of course her motives are suspect.
Relax. Her work ethic will convict her..
The judge is going to laugh when hearing the conversations and then throw her out of the courtroom, for he has better things to do with his time than dealing with her BS/ You have nothing to worry about.
You appear to have been indiscreet to say the least. However before you do anything rash I suggest that you challenge her to prove that she has indeed been taping these conversations. They are not admissible in any court but could certainly cause trouble with your wife. If the tapes don´t exist then you are home and free because it is her word against yours. If they do exist then you have no recourse but to see a lawyer, maybe two, with one of them being a divorce lawyer. In any case don´t get yourself in this position again.
You are fine.
She can’t claim harassment if she started the conversation. If anything you could counter file against her and said you just talked to avoid an even more uncomfortable situation.
Her taped conversations of you are also inadmissible unless she can prove you were being taped or she had your consent.
It probably won’t hurt her that she waited this long to file (she can come up with some excuse like trauma or anguish) but it won’t help her either. It will hurt her that she only decided to do this after she got fired. Her work ethic isn’t going to help her either.
