Hostile work environment sexual harassment is unwelcomed conduct of a sexual nature that is both severe and pervasive and affects working conditions of the aggrieved employee. Stated another way, a hostile work environment occurs when a person with authority or a co-worker engages in unwelcomed and inappropriate sexual behavior which renders the atmosphere of the aggrieved employee’s workplace hostile, intimidating or offensive

A number of factors which are considered by a court in determining if hostile work environment sexual harassment occurred are, frequency of the offensive conduct, severity of that conduct, whether it is physically threatening or humiliating or a mere offensive utterance, and whether it unreasonably interferes with an employee’s work performance.
