Female Lawyer alleges Sexual Harassment by Senior Advocate

New Delhi: Barely a week after charges of Sexual Assault were levelled against a retired Supreme Court Judge by two law interns, another female lawyer has alleged that she was sexually harassed by a senior advocate, who was old enough to be her father.

The Lawyer  wrote on the same blog as the interns, that the advances from the Senior Advocate were obsessive and sexual.  She alleged that the senior advocate would call her at inappropriate times and sent her sexually explicit emails and messages.

She said, “I was divided against taking action when I was harassed. A lot of people would not have considered this as harassment.”

The lawyer said, “I did not complain and nor do I intend to as I thought it would affect my profession. I have written the blog to bring up the larger issue.” The lawyer also said that such incidents are common in litigation fraternity.
