Ah, February! The month of love! Of course, if you're a lawyer, you see the worst of humanity and never get to hear about true, faithful, honorable, self-sacrificial love -- sexual harassment is as close to "love" as we ever get. (See, you thought lawyers were just jerks - now you feel sorry for us!)

So, in honor of St. Valentine's Day, this is the best I can do. Here are three recent sexual harassment cases, each with a moral for employers. That's three cases, and three morals.

Hey! Did you know that 3 x 3 = 9? And three 9s = 9-9-9? I miss Herman Cain!

Here comes Doctor Love! In the first case, the plaintiff, a nurse, had an affair with a married doctor. She admitted that, while the affair was going on, she told everyone in the world about it, and she and the doctor had some "encounters" in the workplace. He promised that he was going to leave his wife, but finally admitted that he'd been lying about that, so the plaintiff told him to hit the road. (Or, did she?)

The plaintiff now told everyone in the world that the relationship was over, but her beloved doctor, holding fast to the hope that he could continue to have his cake and eat it, too, kept sending her romantic text messages and trying to touch her. As the court tactfully put it, "As a result, she sometimes avoided him at the office." (Emphasis added.) She apparently had an opportunity to transfer to another department away from him but turned it down.
