Abstract

Online sexual harassment, also called cybersexual harassment, has proliferated as the rise of technology and social media has also increased. One particular issue that impacts victims' decisions is that many organizations do not have policies—or at least clear policies—regarding the consequences for perpetrator behavior. Thus, the purpose of this chapter is to explore the policies, legal implications, and example cases of online sexual harassment for employee victims who are harassed by their coworkers and to also detail how organizations have responded in the past. Furthermore, the authors highlight specific example policies that some organizations have in place as well as describe how organizations could (or should) respond to online harassment situations.
