This paper describes and analyzes the sexual
harassment case involving a female employee who served as an ocean lifeguard
for the Marine Safety Section of the Parks and Recreation Department. In the case
described by the paper, the victim of the sexual
harassment filed a petition against the city of Boca Raton, accusing her immediate supervisors of building a sexually hostile environment at the workplace because they subjected her and other female lifeguards to uninvited and offensive touching, as well as vulgar remarks and offensive language. The paper explains why the particular situation described aptly falls under the category of sexual harassment.
