The harasser can be anyone: the victim's supervisor, a client, a co-worker, a
teacher or professor, a schoolmate, a stranger, even a family member.
The harasser's behavior must be unwelcome.
The victim does not have to be the person directly harassed but can be anyone
who finds the behavior offensive and is affected by it.
While adverse effects on the victim are common, this does not have to be the
case for the behavior to be unlawful.
The harasser may be completely unaware that their behavior is offensive or
constitutes sexual harassment, or they may be completely unaware that their
actions could be unlawful.
The harasser does not have to have sexual intentions towards the target for the
behavior to be considered discriminatory.
