I guy I worked with at one time was fired for sexual harrassment... and I feel wrongfully so. We worked in a food court at a restaurant and this gal worked for the mall and cleaned the tables and such. After hours they would flirt with each other constantly, calling each other 'baby' and such, and getting lewd on occasion. This went on for weeks and one day while he was on lunch break and they had finished talking she started to walk away and he tickled her ass while she was walking away. When I say tickled I do not mean groped. Now, she turned and got mad and told him off... OK fine, he did something she was uncomfortable with and she said stop and he did. But then she called the office of the company we worked for, and he was fired. No investigation, no questions asked. He wasn't even on the clock when it happened. Not like it was a career position, but it was his first job and he had been there a couple years starting in High School. Kind of the opposite extreme of what Ophelia dealt with.
I do agree though, the key word in any harrassment situation is 'unwanted'.
