Sexual harassment and retaliation in workplace


Jane Smith complained to the human resources department that a female co-worker was touching her and making sexually inappropriate comments. The co-worker's touching and comments did not stop. Two days after the initial complaint to her employer, Smith filed an EEOC charge of discrimination. Company X tried to resolve the charge through mediation; but that effort failed. Within a week of the failed EEOC mediation, Smith was fired for allegedly using language that threatened violence against the company. Smith sued Company X for sex harassment and retaliation. What will be the result and why? Will she succeed in sexual harassment lawsuit? Why or why not? Does she have a valid retaliation claim? Why or why not?
