If a person is having an extra marital affair with a married female member of staff in the office and they love each other can this be treated as sexual harassment?

Sexual harassment is prolonged, unwelcome, physical or non-physical (written or verbal) persistent contact by another person (of either sex). In short, if a person is told to stop their advances, and the person committing these actions does not stop - then they can be charged with sexual harassment. Different countries have various laws relating to the exact definition of sexual harassment. Some countries only consider physical contact as harassment. If the contact is consensual, there is usually no case for a harassment case.

When you accuse someone of harrasment what does it mean?

I don't know the definition of harassment in US law but under the UK Protection from Harassment Act harassment is;a course of conduct on two or more occasions causing alarm or distress and requires that:A person must not pursue a course of conduct which amounts to harassment of another, and which he knows or ought to know amounts to harassment of the other.The person whose course of conduct is in question ought to know that it amounts to harassment of another if a reasonable person in possession of the same information would think the course of conduct amounted to harassment of the other.It is not really possible to give specific examples for the simple reason that a course of conduct which may be held to be harassment of one person may not necessarialy be seen to be harassment of another.It can and does depend on the knowledge of the individual persuing the course of action and the personal characteristics of their victim.See the resonable person test in para. 4 ibid

What is the proper term for sexual harassment?

In most jurisdictions "Sexual Harassment" IS the legal term for unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. It differs from Sexual Assault in that it does not require physical contact. Note that the exact legal definition of sexual harassment varies by jurisdiction. Informally, the proper terms for people who engage in sexual harassment include: Jerk Creep Imbecile Cad Boor Heel Louse Cur Rotter Rat Worm ... and a whole lot of terms that are not used in polite company - but then again sexual harassers have already excluded themselves from the category of "polite company" by their actions.
