It depends. If you do it, you should expect to deal with the consequences. Don't do it unless you are willing to be sued, lose your job and pay fines.

Any conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment for the person harassed or for another who observes such conduct is sexual harassment.

In other words, if any person involved with or witnessing the gift is offended, it is probably sexual harassment.

I bolded those words for a reason. Sexual Harassment is UNWANTED to you. Here's the definition of flirting: a short playful interaction based on lighthearted feeling, especially one that suggests sexual interest. Now those words were bolded for a reason too. DO NOT ignore those words! Sexual Harassment and flirting is two very different things. Sexual Harassment is unwanted sexual behavior to someone(victim). Flirting is wanted sexual behavior that is short and too the point.Sexual Harassment also has to deal with your body. Not just someones touching you or saying sexual things. If they say "Hey your fat!" or "You're so hot!" that is sexual harassment because it's talking about your body. Calling someone gay, lesbian, bisexual, or straight is sexual harassment Or calling someone a slut. All of the nasty words that have to deal with your body and makes you feel uncomfortable is sexual harassmentHere are some Sexual Harassment symptoms.

STOP!"That will get the harasser's attention that you don't like it and he/she/they will leave you along. But sometimes, the person harassing you think that their flirting with you. But until you say no or stop in a firm voice their more then likely to stop.If that doesn't work tell an adult or a friend. Or the COPS! Sexual Harassment eseptically if their touching your sexual organs is illegal. It's called rape. Definition of rape: the crime of using force somebody to have sexual intercourse with somebody.

Sexual harassers may try to justify their behavior by claiming it was just "a joke" or that the victim "misunderstood" their intentions.
