"Consenting to Sexual Harassment"
• Review Case: Consenting to Sexual Harassment. According to her own testimony, Vinson acquiesced to Taylor's sexual demands. In this sense her behavior was "voluntary." Does the voluntariness of her behavior mean she had "consented" to Taylor's advances? Does it mean they were "welcome"? Do you agree that Vinson's acquiescence shows there was no sexual harassment? Defend your position.
