Lawyers specializing in sexual harassment crimes

Soliciting sexual favors, for oneself or a third party, in the context of an employment, teaching, or service relationship, whether ongoing or habitual, is punishable if it causes the victim an objectively and seriously intimidating, hostile, or humiliating situation. The penalty is 6 to 12 months in prison.

The penalty is aggravated if the perpetrator commits the crime by taking advantage of his or her superiority in work, teaching, or hierarchy, or over a person subject to his or her care or custody, or with the express or tacit announcement of causing harm to the victim.
