Under the law, sexual harassment is a pattern of behavior. A pattern of behavior is established by showing a series of related incidents.
One incident, by definition, cannot constitute a pattern of behavior under the law.
If her boss would now deny her a promotion, a pay raise, demote her, transfer her to position beneath her skills, deny her opportunities to advance her career, terminate her employment, or take any other action in retribution, or engage in similar sexual conduct, then that is sufficient to establish a pattern of behavior, under the law.
It may be possible, if he engaged in similar misconduct with other female employees, to establish a pattern of sexual harassment, but that would depend upon how the law was written in that particular State.
Millions of criminals walk free for far worse
Our justice system does not punish according to whether the crime was committed or not- it punishes whether the violator was “legally” guilty as to extenuating circumstances -which could be -background, race, diet, substance abuse, mental illness, physical illness,
Really most anything
