Can I sue for sexual harrassment while I'm online?

Question

I'm currently participating in a forum and I got sexual harassed all the time by some members, such a long time...So can I sue for sexual harassment even if it is online or it is impossible to sue?

Answer 1

"sue", not really. But you could press harrassment charges. Not sure how far it'd go though.

You did post your pictures willingly, you opened doors by doing that. I'm not saying being harrassed is "ok" because you posted your pics, but it's no secret that the internet can be a very negative place. So the blame is partially yours.

Answer 2

Have you contacted the forum administors? Most, if not all forums have rules about harassment, and will likely ban them if you can show them proof of sexual harassment.

I'm not sure if you can really sue someone for that, but it's possible.

Answer 3

Sexual harassment is not a crime outside of employment. Where it is not a crime either, but it is a cause for termination.
