Sexual Assault by a CEO: Fighting for Justice Against Corporate Power

It takes immense courage for an employee to come forward with a sexual assault claim against their boss, especially when that boss is the owner, CEO, or founder of the company. These cases are fraught with power imbalances, fear of retaliation, and the immense pressure of a corporate machine that may be willing to do anything to protect its reputation and its leader. Victims often feel silenced, isolated, and powerless against the company’s resources and legal team.

Why Sexual Assault by a Corporate Leader is Different

A sexual assault in the workplace is always a crime, but when the perpetrator is the CEO, the dynamics shift dramatically. The victim is not only dealing with the trauma of the assault but also the fear of losing their job, being blackballed in their industry, or facing a coordinated campaign to discredit them. In these situations, the company may try to:

• Discredit the victim: They might launch a smear campaign, questioning the victim’s character, motives, or mental health.
• Use corporate resources: The company’s legal department and public relations team will be mobilized to protect the CEO and the business at all costs.
• Create a hostile work environment: Victims may be isolated, demoted, or subjected to further harassment in an effort to make them quit.

These factors make it incredibly difficult for a victim to stand up for themselves. Many victims believe they have no chance against such a powerful adversary and choose to remain silent. However, federal and state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, protect employees from sexual assault in the workplace. These laws allow for legal action not only against the perpetrator but also against the company itself for failing to provide a safe working environment.
