Successful representation of a victim who was repeatedly molested by her immediate supervisor.
While working as a contract employee at a company, the client was molested several times on the same day by her immediate supervisor, who had also interviewed her, including molestation at a karaoke bar, molestation in a car, and molestation in front of her house. The client sued her supervisor for molestation based on professional authority. ■ Case Issues 1) The client, who had just graduated from college and was a contract worker, blamed herself for not immediately protesting or filing a report when she was first groped at a karaoke bar. 2) The client was unable to explicitly refuse the perpetrator's offer to take her home in a taxi, and was subjected to intense groping, including kissing her on the lips and hugging her while they were in the taxi. 3) The client was worried that the groping would not be recognized because she laughed until the end, so she was unable to provide a detailed explanation of the incident and explicitly refuse the offer.
